Useful tips about the detergent dispenser
The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is
opened by pull it outwards.
You must follow the dosage
recommendations provided by
the manufacturers when adding
detergent or fabric conditioner.
Doses will vary according to the
wash load, the water hardness
and how soiled the washing is.
Experience will help you select
the right dosage almost
automatically: it will become your
secret.
Before adding detergent for pre-
washing in compartment 1,
make sure that the extra
compartment for bleach 4 has
not been inserted.
Ensure no overfilling when
adding fabric conditioner in
compartment 3.

adds the softener to the wash in
each programme.

compar tment 2 just a few
seconds before starting the
wash cycle.

maximum load size.

SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT
selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

with cold water, always reduce
the amount of detergent you use:
it dissolves less easily in cold
