It's important for a good wash
Useful tips about the detergent dispenser
The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is opened by pulling it out.
You must follow the quantity
recommendations provided by
the manufacturers when
adding detergent or fabric
softener. Quantities will vary
according to the wash load, the
water hardness and how soiled
the clothes are.
Experience will help you select
the right quantity almost
automatically.
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.

Cutting costs efficiently
A guide to environmentally friendly and economic use
of your appliance.
MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE
Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent
and time by using the recommended maximum
load size.
SAVE up to 50% energy by washing a full load
instead of 2 half loads.
DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?
For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to
15% energy consumption by NOT selecting
Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.
IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?
Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried
in stains in water before washing to reduce the
necessity of a hot wash programme.
SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 140°F (60°C)
wash program.

The washing machine automa-
tically adds the softener to the
wash in each program.
Liquid detergent is poured into
compartment 2 just a few
seconds before starting the
wash cycle.
Remember that liquid
detergent is only designed for
wash cycles of up to 60
degrees on non pre-wash
items.
Special containers are sold
with liquid or powder deter-
gents for placing inside the
washing machine drum, these
are positioned according to the
instructions found in the
detergent box
In compartment 1:
Detergent for pre-washing
(powder)
In compartment 2:
Detergent for washing
(powder or liquid)
In compartment 3:
Additives (softeners,
perfumes, etc.)
In compartment 4:
Bleach and delicate bleach.
Never use hand wash deter-
gent, because it may form too
much foam, which could da-
mage the washing machine.
Detergents that are specifically
formulated for both hand and
machine wash are an excep-
tion.

Bleach cycle and stain
removal button
If bleaching is necessary, the
extra case 4 (provided) must
be inserted into compartment
1 of the detergent dispenser.
When pouring in the bleach,
be careful not to exceed the
"max" level indicated on the
central pivot (see illustration).
If used, the bleach compar-
tment will be filled with water
at the end of the wash.
The use of the additional
bleach container excludes
the possibility of using the
pre-wash cycle.
Traditional bleach can only be
used on sturdy white fabrics,
whereas delicate bleach can
be used for colored fabrics,
synthetics and for wool.
One last secret:
washing with cold water,
always reduce the amount of
detergent you use: it dissolves
less easily in cold water than
in hot water, so part of it would
be wasted.

The detergent dispenser can
be removed and cleaned: pull
it outwards, as indicated in the

warm running water for a few
minutes.
You cannot bleach with the
