Detergents tips and laundry
Detergent dispenser
! Do not put any items into the drawer, other than
detergents designed to be released from the drawer, as
they may cause damage or blockage.
1 Drawer release catch.
2 Pre-wash detergent compartment:
Maximum 200 ml powder or
100 ml liquid
3 Main wash detergent compartment:
Maximum 400 ml powder or
200 ml liquid
4 Grate
5 Fabric conditioner compartment:
Maximum 120 ml
Dispensing powder detergent
To achieve the best wash results the manufacturer's
recommended amount of detergent should be measured
and added to the main detergent compartment.
Adding fabric conditioner
Pour the recommended amount of fabric conditioner into
the compartrrent. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Pre-wash
When selecting prewash, add detergent to both the pre-
wash and the main wash compartments.
Fabric softener
All fabrics, particularly towels, benefit from the use of fabric
conditioners in the final rinse. Items of laundry feel softer, are
more easily ironed and the clinging affect of synthetics is
considerably reduced.
Pour the softener into “Additives” compartment of the
detergent dispenser to the level indicated on the syphon. Under
no circumstances overfill, as the softener will immediately
syphon into the machine and in so doing, impair the wash
results.

Detergent tips
Dispense a correct amount of detergent so to get
better washings
Warning
AVOID RISK OF POISONING KEEPING
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES OUT OF
THE REACH OF CHILDREN !
We suggest you to measure out the quantity of
detergent (powder or liquid) according to:
• The water hardness. This piece of information you
will get it from your local water authority.
• The quantity of laundry.
• The degree of soiling (see Programs on page 12).
• The specifications of the detergent manufacturer.
Measuring the correct amount of detergent ensures
optimum washing results and conributes to
get a better environment.
We recommend HE (high Efficiency) detergents
because they are particularly designed to deliver
optimum performance from your front-loading washer.
Not using HE detergent could cause problems such as
oversudsing (mess on your floor) and/or a decrease in
wash performances.
Too little detergent:
The laundry is not cleaned properly and will eventually
become gray and stiff. Grayish brown spots (fat
globules) may appear on the laundry. The heater may
calcify.
Too much detergent:
Not environmentally friendly, excessive suds reduce
wash agitation producing poor washing, poor rinsing
results or may prevent proper spinning.
Adjust the amount for heavily or lightly soiled loads.
Use more if water is extremely hard, use less in soft
water. If garments have been pretreated, you will not
need as much (or any) detergent at all.
