This ensures that the liquid detergent is dispersed in the drum only when needed.
– the third, labelled “ ” is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances,
starch, brighteners etc.
The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final
rinse stage for all wash cycles.

Note: only put special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances,
starch, brighteners, etc, in the third compartment.
Note: some forms of detergents are difficult to dispense
from the drawer e.g. concentrated powders. For these, we
suggest you use the recommended dispenser which is
placed inside the drum.
Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use
Choice of detergent
General purpose detergents
– Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agents, are
particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for
heavily soiled and stained laundry.
– Liquid detergents, are particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy
skin marks, cosmetics and oil.
These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not
contain bleach.
– Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough
wash.
Additional laundry aids
– Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is
classed as hard to very hard.
– Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the
main wash.
Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with
bleach-free detergents.
– Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens
fabrics.
