recommended on the detergent package to avoid
problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial
savings and finally, environmental protection.

clothes.

dosage.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the
detergent drawer.

compartment.

Using gel and tablet detergent
When using tablet, gel, etc. detergents, read the
manufacturer's instructions on the detergent package
carefully and follow the dosage values. If there is not any
instruction on the package, apply the following.

compartment during first water intake. If your machine
contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into
this cup before starting the programme.

shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the
drum before washing.
