otherwise the programme will not start.

5.3 Adding Detergent to the Machine

The amount of detergent you will need to
put in your machine will depend on the
following criteria:
• If your clothes are only slightly soiled,
do not pre-wash. Put a small amount
of detergent (as specified by the
manufacturer) into compartment II of the
detergent drawer.
• If your clothes are excessively soiled,
select a programme with pre-wash and
put ¼ of the detergent to be used into
compartment I of the detergent drawer
and the rest in compartment II.
• Use detergents produced for automatic
washing machines. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions on the

amount of detergent to use.
• In areas of hard water, more detergent
will be required.
• The amount of the detergent required
will increase with higher washing loads.
• Put softener in the middle compartment
of the detergent drawer. Do not exceed
the MAX level.
• Thick softeners may cause clogging of
the drawer and should be diluted.
• It is possible to use fluid detergents in
all programmes without a pre-wash. To
do this, slide the fluid detergent level
plate (*) into the guides in compartment
II of the detergent drawer. Use the lines
on the plate as a guide to fill the drawer
to the required level.
(*) Specifications may vary depending on
the machine purchased.
