(compartment no. "1").
• In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment no. "1").

detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the product.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent container into the main wash
compartment (compartment no. “2”).

solely for delicate clothes and at suggested programmes.

Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and
water hardness.
• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid
problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.
• Use less detergent for small loads, lightly soiled clothes and short duration programmes, especially in soft
water areas.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level sign on the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before adding it in the detergent compartment.
A
WARNING:
Do not use liquid detergents or other cleaning products other than fabric softeners produced for washing
machines to soften the clothes.
Using liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:
•
Put the liquid detergent container into the compartment no “2”.
