The main wash detergent compartment has a tang allowing the use of liquid detergent. To in-
sert it, pull it towards the front and then lower it.
Following the recommendations in the "Programmes Ta-
ble" supplied with this manual, place the detergent and
any additives in the drawer before the start of the pro-
gramme.
Never fill with liquids above the maximum level
marked
; otherwise the trays will empty too quickly.
Before pouring dense additives into the container, dilute
with a little water to ensure they do not clog the outlet.
Use only low-foam detergents suitable for use in a wash-
ing machine.
The amount of detergent must be decided in relation of the hardness of the water, the
type and quantity of items loaded, and their degree of dirt.
This will provide the desired effect with optimal detergent consumption.
On detergent packs the recommended dose is indicated for 4 levels of water hardness and
for loads of 4-5 kg of washing with average dirt levels.
Request information about the water's hardness from your water supply company.
