It's important for a good wash
The first
secret
is the easiest:
the detergent
dispenser
You must follow the quantity
recommendations
provided by
the
manufacturers
when
adding
detergent
or fabric
softener.
Quantities
wH[ vary
according to the wash load, the
water hardness and how soiled
the clothes are.
Experience wi[[ help you select
the
right
quantity
almost
automatically.
Before
adding
detergent
for
pre-washing
in compartment
1, make sure that the extra
compartment
for bleach 4 has
not been inserted.
Ensure
no overfilling
when
adding
fabric
conditioner
in
compartment 3.
The washing machine automa-
ticalIy adds the softener to the
wash in each program.
Liquid detergent is poured into
compartment
2 just
a few
seconds
before starting
the
wash cycle.
Remember
that
liquid
detergent is only designed for
wash
cycles
of up to 60
degrees
on non
pre-wash
items.
Special
containers
are sold
with liquid or powder
deter-
gents for placing
inside
the
washing machine drum, these
are positioned according to the
instructions
found
in the
detergent box
iiiiiiii ,
fn compartment
1:
Detergent for pre-wasNng
(powder}
In compartment
2:
Detergent for washing
(powder or liquid}
In compartment 3:
Additives
(softeners,
perfumes,
etc.)
fn compartment

Bleach and delicate bleach.
is opened
by pulling
it out.
Never use hand wash deter-
gent, because it may form too
much foam, which could da-
mage the washing machine.
Detergents that are specifically
formulated
for both hand and
machine
wash are an excep-
tion.
One
last
secret:
when
washing
with
cold
water,
always reduce the amount of
detergent you use: it dissolves
less easily in cold water than
in hot water, so part of it would
be wasted.

The detergent dispenser
can
be removed and c/eaned: puff
it outward, s, as indicated in the
figure.
Then leave
it under
warm running water for a few
minutes.

If bleaching
is necessary, the
extra case 4 (provided)
must
be inserted
into compartment
! of the detergent dispenser.
When pouring in the bleach,
be careful not to exceed the
"max"
level indicated
on the
central pivot (see illustration).
TraditionN
bleach can oNy be
used on sturdy white fabrics,
whereas
demicate bleach can
be used for colored
fabrics,
synthetics

You cannot

"Silk" program.(See
