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.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder)
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.
!
Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form
too much foam.

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 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Special items

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case
or mesh bag. Wash them separately without exceeding
half the appliance load. Use programme 6 which exclu-
des the spin cycle automatically.
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded
with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed.
Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 2-3
kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the
delicate spin cycle.
