Detergent dispenser
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent
won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash,
and may in fact cause build up on the interior of
your appliance and even pollute the environment.
The detergent dispenser is located inside the tub;
to access it the door must be opened.
Open up the detergent
dispenser (see figure)
and pour in the
detergent and fabric
softener, as follows.
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash
(or bleach if carrying out the bleach cycle)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
When closing the door, the detergent dispenser
closes automatically.
Do not use hand wash detergent because it may
form too much foam.
Preparing your laundry
• Divide your laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments
from whites.
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Do not exceed the weight limits stated below,
which refer to the weight when dry:
Sturdy fabrics: max 8,5 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max 4 kg
Delicate fabrics: max 3 kg
Wool: max 3 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Special items
Curtains:fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without
exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme
J which excludes the spin cycle automatically.
Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washed
together with jeans and other tough garments,
but not with whites.
