Detergents and laundry
8
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 a build up on the interior of your
appliance and even pollute the environment.
Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in the
detergent and fabric
softener, as follows:
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash
(powder)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured
in immediately prior to the wash cycle start.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softener, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow from the
grid.
! Do not use hand wash detergent because it may
form too much foam.
