Detergent dispenser
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent won’t necessarily
make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause
build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute
the environment.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for
pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packa-
ging.
Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in
the detergent and fabric
softener, as follows.
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra
compartment 4 has been removed.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately
prior to the wash cycle start.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.
extra compartment 4: Bleach
! Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form
too much foam.
Bleach cycle
! Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white
fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthe-
tics and for wool.
Place extra compartment
4, provided, into compart-
ment 1.
When pouring in the
bleach, be careful not to
exceed the “max” level in-
dicated on the central pivot
(see figure).
To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into extra
compartment 4, set the Rinse programme
and enable
the Stain removal option. To bleach during a wash cycle,
pour in the detergent and fabric softener, set the desired
programme and enable the Stain removal option.
The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the possibility
of using the pre-wash cycle.
Preparing your laundry
• Divide your laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments from
whites.
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash
cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
