Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the
choice of detergent and use of the correct
quantities to avoid waste and protect the envi-
ronment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can upset
the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type
of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the
colour, washing temperature and degree of soil-
ing.
All commonly available washing machine deter-
gents may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric,
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (40°C
max) and woollens,
• liquid detergents, preferably for low tempera-
ture wash programmes (60°C max) for all
types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent dispenser drawer is provi-
ded with an insert for liquid detergent. Do
not use the insert downwards for gelatinous de-
tergents, with programmes including prewash,
with the delay start option. In all these cases
you can use metering balls or sachets provided
with the detergent, Take out the metering aid at
the end of the washing cycle.
Warning! Make
sure that any
fabrics were not trap-
ped when closing the
door.
