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)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in
immediately prior to the wash cycle start.
Do not use hand wash detergent because it may
form too much foam.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid
exceeding the "max" level indicated.
The softener is added automatically into the machine
during the last wash. At the end of the wash
programme, some water will be left in compartment
3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners
into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more concentrated
softeners. Should more than a normal amount of water
remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying
device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see page
10.
The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.
compartment 4: Bleach
Bleach cycle
Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white
fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics,
synthetics and for wool.
When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed
the "max" level indicated on compartment 4 (see
figure).
To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into
compartment 4 and set the Rinse programme (for
cotton fabrics) and push the button
Bleaching .
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 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 kg.
