The secrets of the deter

The first secret: the detergent dispenser is in a handy position underneath the appliance door.

You should add detergent and

any additives following the

dosage recommended by the

manufacturers: generally, all

the indications you need are

on the box.

Cutting costs efficiently

FULL LOAD

The best way to save on energy, water, detergent and time is to use your washing machine,

washing a full recommended load.

A full load instead of two half loads allows you to SAVE up to 50% of energy.

USE LESS DETERGENT IF: you are washing few garments, the washing is only soiled

lightly, foam forms during washing or the water is not very hard, or soft even (please see

small table above with the degrees of water hardness). To find out how hard the water in

your area is, contact your local Water Works.

IS PRE-WASHING STRICTLY NECESSARY?

Only for extremely soiled garments.

Programming a wash WITHOUT pre-washing for lightly soiled or medium soiled garments

allows you to SAVE on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% of energy.

IS WASHING WITH HOT WATER STRICTLY NECESSARY?

Treating stains with a stain remover or soaking garments with dry stains in water before

washing can reduce the need to programme a wash using hot water.

Use a wash programme at 60° to SAVE up to 50% of energy.

BEFORE USING A DRYING CYCLE ...

Select a high speed spin cycle, where the spin speed can be adjusted, if the washing should

be dried in a tumble-dryer. A reduced water content in the washing allows you to SAVE

both time and energy in the drying programme.

the wash in each pro-gramme.

Liquid detergent is to be

poured in just a few seconds

before starting the wash

cycle.

Remember that liquid de-

tergent is particularly sui-

table for wash cycles of up to

60 degrees and those not

requiring pre-washing.

Liquid or powder detergents

are sold together with special

containers that are to be placed

directly inside the washing

machine drum, according to

the instructions found on the

detergent box.

Never

detergent, because it may form

too much foam, which could

damage the washing machine.

One last secret: when 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.

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,

thus interrupting the suction

effect of the device.

For cleaning instructions, see

page 13.

Never pour fabric

softeners together with starch

into the dispenser, as the

overflow system could get

clogged.
