Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
environmentalpollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
createtoomuchfoam.
Openthedetergentdi-
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive,asfollows.
compartment 1: Deter-
gent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only
be poured in immediately prior
tothestartofwashcycle.
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
Thefabricsoftenershouldnotoverflowthegrid.
extra compartment 3: Bleach
Bleach cycle
Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash
cycles 6.Pourthebleachintoextracompartment 3; pour
the detergent and softener into the corresponding com-
partments, then select one of the abovementioned wash
cycles.
This option is recommended only for very soiled cotton
garments.

gramme 7.

Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the
washingrotationspeed.If,afterseveralattempts,theloadis
not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin
speed.Iftheloadisexcessivelyunbalanced,thewasher-
performsthedistributionprocessinsteadofspinning.To
encourage improved load distribution and balance, we
recommendsmallandlargegarmentsaremixedintheload.
Helpful Hints
Your washer features three different speeds during the wash
cycle.DuringtheCottoncyclethedrumspinsat1,200or800
rpm.DuringPermanentPressthedrumspinsat850rpm.
Duringdelicates,thedrumspinsat500rpm.
Use Liquid Fabric Softener. Fill the softener compartment
uptothelevelmarked.Usingfabricsoftnerfluffsoutclothes
immediatelyafterthawashcycle.Thishelpsspeeddrying

When sorting laundry always take into consideration
thequantityandtypeoffabriccontainedintheload.Highly
absorbent fabrics such as those used in towels or jeans will
abosorbmorewaterandbecomeveryheavywhensaturated.
If you notice that your clothes are taking longer than usual to
dry may be overloading the machine, or washing too many
highlyabsorbentarticlesforasingleload.
