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)

Before  pouring  in  the  detergent,  make  sure  that

extra  compartment  4  has  been  removed.

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.

extra  compartment  4:  Bleach

 Do not use hand wash detergent because it may

form too much foam.

Bleach cycle

 

Traditional

 bleach should be used on sturdy

white fabrics, and 

delicate

 bleach for coloured

fabrics, synthetics and for wool.

Place  extra

compartment  4,

provided, into

compartment  1.

When pouring in the

bleach, be careful not to

exceed  the  "max"  level

indicated on the central

pivot 

(see figure)

.

To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into

extra  compartment  4,  set  the  Rinse  programme 

and enable the Stain removal option (

see page 9)

.

To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent

and fabric softener, set the desired  programme and

enable the Stain removal option (

see page 9)

.

The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the

possibility of using the pre-wash cycle.

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 6 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 7

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.

Wool: 

for best results, use a specific detergent,

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