Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the
choice of detergent and use of the correct
quantities to avoid waste and protect the envi-
ronment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can upset
the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type
of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the
colour, washing temperature and degree of soil-
ing.
All commonly available washing machine deter-
gents may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C
max) and woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low tempera-
ture wash programmes (60°C max) for all
types of fabric, or special for woollens only.

Drying Hints

Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on the conden-
sation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and
the drain hose must drain water into a
sink or into the drain pipe, even during the
drying cycle.
Attention!
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

, then with acetic acid;
The detergent and any additives must be placed
in the appropriate compartments of the dis-
penser drawer before starting the wash pro-
gramme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without
prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation sys-
tem which allows an optimal use of the concen-
trated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer's recommen-
dations on quantities to use and do not ex-
ceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dis-
penser drawer.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called "de-
grees" of hardness. Information on hardness of
the water in your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from your lo-
cal authority.
A water softener must be added when wa-
ter has a medium-high degree of hardness
(from degree of hardness II). Follow the manu-
facturer's instructions. The quantity of detergent
can then always be adjusted to degree of hard-
ness I (= soft).
