Equator EZ2512CEE - Manual (Page 16)

You must follow the quantity
recommendations provided by
the manufacturers when
adding detergent or fabric
softener. Quantities will vary
according to the wash load, the
water hardness and how soiled
the clothes are.
Experience will help you select
the right quantity almost
automatically.
Before adding detergent for
pre-washing in compartment
1
, make sure that the extra
compartment for bleach 4 has
not been inserted.
Ensure no overfilling when
adding fabric conditioner in
compartment 3.
The washing machine automa-
tically adds the softener to the
wash in each program.
Liquid detergent is poured into
compartment 2 just a few
seconds before starting the
wash cycle.
Useful tips about the detergent dispenser
It’s important for a good wash
Remember that liquid
detergent is only designed for
wash cycles of up to 60
degrees on non pre-wash
items.
Special containers are sold
with liquid or powder deter-
gents for placing inside the
washing machine drum, these
are positioned according to the
instructions found in the
detergent box
Never use hand wash deter-
gent, because it may form too
much foam, which could da-
mage the washing machine.
Detergents that are specifically
formulated for both hand and
machine wash are an excep-
tion.
One last secret: when
washing with cold water,
always reduce the amount of
detergent you use: it dissolves
less easily in cold water than
in hot water, so part of it would
be wasted.
The detergent dispenser can
be removed and cleaned: pull
it outwards, as indicated in the
figure. Then leave it under
warm running water for a few
minutes.

If bleaching is necessary, the
extra case 4 (provided) must
be inserted into compartment
1
of the detergent dispenser.
When pouring in the bleach,
be careful not to exceed the
"max"
level indicated on the
central pivot (see illustration).
The use of the additional
bleach container excludes
the possibility of using the
pre-wash cycle.
Traditional bleach can only be
used on sturdy white fabrics,
whereas delicate bleach can
be used for colored fabrics,
synthetics and for wool.
You cannot bleach with the
“Silk” program.(See page 8).
NOTE: BLEACH ONLY WORKS
WITH HOT WASH TEMP.
The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is opened by pulling it out.
