nHow to Use the Dispenser Drawer
Pull out the dispenser drawer to reveal the four compartments. The
drawer is divided into 3+1 compartments: one for pre-wash detergent,
one for wash detergent, one for fabric softener, and one for bleach
(see Fig. 10, for a description of each).
• Add the correct type/amount of detergent, fabric softener, and bleach (if
needed) to the corresponding compartments (see “About Laundry Aids,”
p. 10).
• When finished, simply close the door. Laundry aids will automatically be
flushed into the machine during the wash cycle. NOTE: From time to
time you may see water in the dispenser compartments. This is a result
of the siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the
washer.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the recommended amounts (p.
10). Using too much detergent and softener causes over-
sudsing and poor rinsing and will harm the efficiency of your
condenser. Only use detergents that are suitable for
washing machines.

Helpful Hints
Before adding detergent for pre-washing in the Pre-wash
compartment (1), make sure that the extra compartment for bleach
has not been inserted. Do not use liquid detergent in the pre-wash
compartment. The pre-wash compartment only accepts powder
detergent.
When you use fabric softener, the washing machine automatically
dispenses the softener to the last rinse of your selected wash
program.
When using liquid detergent, pour the detergent into compart-
ment 2 just a few seconds before starting the wash cycle.
Never use hand-washing detergent, because it may form too
much foam and could damage your machine.
When washing with cold water, reduce the amount of detergent
you use: it dissolves less easily in cold water than in hot water, so
part of it would be wasted.
nUsing Bleach
If bleaching is necessary, the extra compartment (4) must be inserted
into the Pre-wash compartment (1) ( Fig. 10).
• Be careful not to exceed the “max” level
indicated on the central pivot (Fig. 11).
• Always dilute the bleach with water
before using.
• Traditional bleach should only be used
on sturdy white fabrics; therefore, the
bleach option is only available when
using a Cotton Heavy Duty cycle.
NOTES: the use of the additional bleach
compartment excludes the possibility of
using the Pre-wash button.
When using Bleach it is
recommended that you press the Extra-rinse button.
nDetergent Dispenser Cleansing
Occasionally, detergent build up may
accumulate in and/or around your
dispenser drawer. The detergent
dispenser can easily be removed and
cleaned:
• Pull it outwards (Fig. 11b).
• Leave it under running water a few
minutes to remove the build up.
• Inspect and wipe out dispenser alcove if necessary. Replace the
dispenser drawer.
