WASHING SYMBOL
WASHING ACTION
FABRIC
For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for
dispensing detergents and liquid additives.
Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it in
gently. This is particularly important if you are using fabric
conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the machine
prematurely.
When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme,
place the detergent into the correct compartment in the
dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.
