Detergent dispenser
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won’t
necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and
may in fact cause a build up on the interior of your
appliance and even pollute the environment.
Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in the
detergent and fabric
softener, as follows:
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash
(powder)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured
in immediately prior to the wash cycle start.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softener, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow from the
grid.
! Do not use hand wash detergent because it may
form too much foam.
Preparing your laundry

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments from
whites.

which refer to the weight when dry:

1 tablecloth 400-500g
1 bathrobe 900-1200g

Special items
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without
exceeding half the appliance load. use programme
11 which excludes the spin cycle automatically.
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are
padded with goose or duck down, they can be
machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and
load a maximum of 2-3kg, repeating the rinse cycle
once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle.
Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washed
together with jeans and other tough garments, but

taking care not to exceed a load of 1.5kg.
