There are several options for adding
detergent.
Detergent dispenser drawer
Any detergent suitable for automatic
front loading washing machines can be
used with this appliance.
Detergent dispensing
Please follow the detergent
manufacturer's instructions in relation
to dosage.
Adding too much detergent will lead
to excessive foaming.
Avoid adding excess detergent.
The amount to dispense will depend on:
– the amount of laundry
