The first secret: the detergent dispenser is in a handy position underneath the appliance door.
You should add detergent and
any additives following the
dosage recommended by the
manufacturers: generally, all
the indications you need are
on the box.

Experience will help you select
the right dosage almost
automatically: it will become
your secret.
When pouring in the softener

exceeding the "max" level
indicated.

Cutting costs efficiently
FULL LOAD
The best way to save on energy, water, detergent and time is to use your washing machine,
washing a full recommended load.
A full load instead of two half loads allows you to SAVE up to 50% of energy.
USE LESS DETERGENT IF: you are washing few garments, the washing is only soiled
lightly, foam forms during washing or the water is not very hard, or soft even (please see
small table above with the degrees of water hardness). To find out how hard the water in
your area is, contact your local Water Works.
IS PRE-WASHING STRICTLY NECESSARY?
Only for extremely soiled garments.
Programming a wash WITHOUT pre-washing for lightly soiled or medium soiled garments
allows you to SAVE on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% of energy.
IS WASHING WITH HOT WATER STRICTLY NECESSARY?
Treating stains with a stain remover or soaking garments with dry stains in water before
washing can reduce the need to programme a wash using hot water.
Use a wash programme at 60° to SAVE up to 50% of energy.
BEFORE USING A DRYING CYCLE ...
Select a high speed spin cycle, where the spin speed can be adjusted, if the washing should
be dried in a tumble-dryer. A reduced water content in the washing allows you to SAVE
both time and energy in the drying programme.

Liquid or powder detergents
are sold together with special
containers that are to be placed
directly inside the washing
machine drum, according to
the instructions found on the
detergent box.
Never
use
hand
wash
detergent, because it may form
too much foam, which could
damage the washing machine.
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.

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,
thus interrupting the suction
effect of the device.
For cleaning instructions, see
page 13.
Never pour fabric
softeners together with starch
into the dispenser, as the
overflow system could get
clogged.
