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 up-
set 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 de-
gree of soiling.

Place the laundry in
the drum, one item at
a time, shaking them
out as much as pos-
sible.
Warning! Make
sure that any
fabrics were not trap-
ped when closing the
door.
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.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling
and hardness of the water used.
For the quantity of detergent, refer always to
what is written on the product packing.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called "de-
grees" of hardness. Information on hardness of
the water in your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from your lo-
cal authority.
If the water hardness degree is medium or high
we suggest you to add a water softener follow-
ing always the manufacturer's instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust
the quantity of the detergent.
Open the detergent dispenser drawer
Warning! If you wish to carry out the
prewash, pour the detergent for prewash
phase among washing items into the drum.
Compartment for
