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
build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute
the environment.
!
Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-
washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
!
Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into
the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup.
compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)
When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid excee-
ding the "max" level indicated.
The softener is added automatically into the machine during
the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some
water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for the inlet
of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the
more concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal
amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the
emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see
"Care and maintenance".
