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.
!
Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-
washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
!
Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
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.
!
Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too
much foam.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid exceeding
the "max" level indicated.
The softener is added automatically into the machine during
the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some
water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for the inlet of
denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more
concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal amount
of water remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying
device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see page 4. The
fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.
compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and
delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.
When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the
"max" level indicated on compartment 4 (see figure).
To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into compart-
ment 4 and set the Rinse programme
and push the button
