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
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.

The washing machine automa-
tically adds the softener to the
wash in each program.
when
Liquid detergent is poured into
compartment 2 just a few
seconds before starting the
wash cycle.
Remember that
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.
liquid
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).
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: 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.
