You must add detergent and any
additives following the dosage
recommended by the
manufacturers: generally, all the
indications you need are on the
box. Doses vary according to
wash load, the water hardness
and how soiled the washing is.
Experience will help you select
the right dosage almost
automatically: it will become
your secret.
When pouring in the softener in
compartment 3, avoid making it
overflow from the grate.
The washer-dryer automatically
adds the softener to the wash in
each programme.
Liquid detergent is to be poured
into compartment 2 only a few
seconds before starting the wash
cycle.
Remember that liquid detergent
is particularly indicated for wash
cycles of up to 60 degrees on non
pre-wash items.
In compartment 1:
Detergent for pre-washing (powder)
In compartment 2:
Detergent for washing
(powder or liquid)
In compartment 3:
Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc.)
The secrets of the detergent dispenser
It’s important for a good wash
The first secret is the easiest: the detergent
dispenser is opened by rotating it outwards.
Liquid or powder detergents are
sold together with special
containers that are to be placed
directly inside the washer-dryer
drum, according to the
instructions found on the
detergent box.
Never use hand wash detergent,
because it may form too much
foam, which could damage the
washer-dryer.
Detergents that are specifically
indicated for both hand and
machine wash are an exception.
One last secret: when washing
with cold water, always 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.
Cutting costs efficiently
A guide to
environmentally
friendly and economic
use of your appliance.
MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE
Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the
recommended maximum load size.
SAVE up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.
DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?
For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by
NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.
IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?
Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before
washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.
SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.
BEFORE USING A DRYING PROGRAMME ...
SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water
content in laundry before using a drying programme.
The detergent dispenser can be
removed and cleaned: just lift it up
and pull it outwards ,as indicated in
the figure. Then leave it under running
water for a few minutes.
