Use only washing detergents designed
for machine washing.
Do not use soap
flakes.
Use special washing detergents for
delicate and woollen fabrics.
This washing machine was designed
for washing powder as well as for liquid
detergent. As to the quantity of the
detergent, refer to the manufacturer's
recommendation. The quantity of
detergent recommended is usually
sufficient for 4.5 to 5 kg of normally
soiled laundry, depending on the
hardness of the water.
If your water is hard we recommend
using water softener. This means that
you can then use the same quantity of
washing powder as if the water was
soft.
Dispenser
The detergent dispenser is divided into
three compartments (fig.). The Table of
Washing Programmes (page 18-19)
shows which compartements to use.
Compartment I:This
compartment is only used for
washing powder when a
programme has Prewash.
Compartment II:This
compartment is used for
washing powder on all
programms.
Compartment III: This
comapartment is used for fabric
conditioner and starching agent.
Always add washing agents before
switching the machine on and keep the
dispenser clean and dry, so that the
washing agent can be efficiently
dispensed from the unit.
With programmes without a pre-wash
cycle, the washing powder can be put
directly in the drum. This is convenient
if:
- you use larger amounts of washing
powder (very hard water),
- you use washing powder which is
hard to rinse from the dispenser,
- water pressure is low.
Not enough washing powder causes:
- the laundry to turn grey,
- greasy cloths.
Too much washing powder causes:
- sudsing,
- reduced agitation and washing effect,
- inadequate rinsing.
*NOTE: The dispenser has three
compartments marked “I”, “II” & “III”.
“I” and “II” (the centre and right
compartments) are for detergent. The
wash programme guide on the control
panel shows where detergent can be
added. The left compartment “III” is for
conditioner only.
Fabric Conditioner
When using fabric conditioner, always
follow the manufacturer's instructions,
but never fill higher than the level
