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.

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  softeners,  etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow from the

grid.

 

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 5,5 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg

Wool: max 1,5 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

L

  which  excludes  the  spin  cycle  automatically.

Quilted  coats  and  windbreakers: 

if  they  are

padded with goose or duck down, they can be

machine-washed. Turn  the  garments  inside  out

and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse

cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin

cycle.

Trainers:

 

remove  any  mud.  They  can  be  washed

together with  jeans and other tough garments,

but not with whites.

Wool:

 

for  best  results,  use  a  specific  detergent,

taking care not to exceed a load of 1,5 kg.
