USING THE MACHINE
GB
USE OF DETERGENTS
The washing machine has a three-compartment detergent drawer.
Compartment 1 on the right is for the pre-wash soap powder (1)
Compartment 2 on the left is for liquid detergent or soap powder for the
main wash (2)
The centre compartment is for softener, perfume, starch (3)
use a low-foam detergent and softener (if necessary), of the type indicated for
automatic washing machines. Use the doses recommended on the package.
N.B. Excessive amounts of detergent may result in too much foam, and
give a poor quality wash. Insufficient amounts of detergent may mean
that the washing does not come properly clean.
N.B. When filling the detergent compartment it is important that the detergent
does not overflow into the compartment used for fabric softener, as this would
result in a rinse cycle containing soap, which might leave the washing with
white stains. Equally, do not allow the fabric softener to overflow into the deter-
gent compartment, as this would reduce the cleaning capacity.
N.B. When using a liquid detergent (recommended for programs without
pre-wash) proceed as follows: remove the baffle from its housing at the
front of compartment 2 and insert it in the guides near the centre of the
same compartment.
Remember to replace it in its front housing when using soap powder.
▼ close the detergent drawer before starting the wash.
Attention! Never remove the detergent drawer when the machine is run-
ning, as water may come out of it.
