Loading door
The door is locked during program
operation. The door can be opened after
some time following the program end.
• Open the door.
• Place laundry items loosely in the
machine.
• Push the door until it clicks into
place tightly. Ensure that no items
are caught in the door.
Detergents and softeners
Detergent drawer
The detergent drawer is composed of
three compartments:
The detergent dispenser may be in two
different types according to the model of
your machine.
- (I) for prewash
- (II) for main wash
- (III) siphon
– ( ) for softener
Detergent, softener and other
cleaning agents
Add detergent and softener before
starting the washing program.
Never open the detergent dispenser
drawer while the washing program is
running!
When using a program without pre-
wash, no detergent should be put
into the pre-wash compartment
(Compartment no. I).
A program without pre-wash should
not be selected if a detergent bag or
a dispensing ball is going to be used.
You can place the detergent bag or
the dispensing ball directly among the
laundry in your machine.
Choosing the detergent type
The type of detergent to be used
depends on the type and colour of
fabric.
• Use different detergents for coloured
and white clothes.
• Wash woolens with a special
detergent specifically for woolens.
• Use only detergents manufactured
specifically for washing machines.
Detergent quantity
The amount of washing detergent to
be used depends on the amount of
laundry, the degree of soiling and water
hardness.
• Do not use amounts exceeding
the quantities recommended on
the package to avoid problems
of excessive foam, poor rinsing,
financial savings and finally,
environmental protection.
• Use small amounts of detergent at a
suitable measure for small amounts
of laundry or for only slightly soiled
laundry.
• Use exact measures for highly
concentrated detergents.
