Putting in the washing
powder and additives
Pour any washing powder or additives into
the detergent drawer (Fig. 3) before star-
ting the washing programme.Your washing
machine’s detergent drawer has three or
four compartments, depending on the
model, which have the following symbols:
Compartment: Pour in the washing
powder for the PREWASH.
Compartment: Pour in the washing
powder for the WASH
Compartment: Pour in any liquid
additives such as treatments, softeners, etc.
Compartment: Pour in liquid blea-
ches, etc.
N.B.: the level of the liquids must not exce-
ed the MAX SIGN (Fig. 3)
Optional drawer
Liquid detergents can also be used in your
washing machine, by using a special optio-
nal drawer which you can obtain by getting
in touch with the TECNICAL ASSISTANCE
NETWORK. This drawer must be placed in
the COMPARTMENT of the detergent
drawer (Fig. 3). As for the dosage to use,
always follow the manufacturer’s recom-
mendations. But in no event must the level
of the detergent exceed the MAX level
marked on the side of the drawer.
Detergent
Only use detergents which are appropriate
for washing garments in automatic washing
machines, ones which are good quality and
which do not produce froth. Use only neu-
tral detergents for washing woollen gar-
ments.
Detergent dosages
Remember that the dosage of detergent to
use will always depend on:
– The amount of garments to be washed.
– The type of garments you are washing.
– How dirty the garments are.
– How hard the water is.
Using a greater amount of detergent than is
necessary does not get better results from
the wash, and as well as increasing the
strain on your budget, it is not very envi-
ronmentally-friendly.
The detergents which are most recommen-
ded for washing programmes without a
prewash programme are those which can
be applied directly inside the drum. We
recommend you in any case to follow the
guidelines for whichever manufacturer’s
detergent you chose to use.
The following table should help you to
decide how much detergent you will need
to use depending on the hardness of your
local water supply and the amount of clot-
hes you need to wash.
