Detergent Drawer

Detergent drawer of your washing machine 

consists of four different compartments for 

powder main wash detergent, liquid main 

wash detergent, liquid softener and powder 

pre-wash detergent. Each of these laundry 

additives are dispensed automatically in the 

relevant time during the washing Programme. 
Do not place the laundry additives directly into 

the drum. Always use the detergent drawer.
Do not close the drawer too fast after putting the 

laundry additives. This may cause the additives 

be dispensed early, creating unsatisfactory 

washing results and fabric damage.

C

washing Programme.

The detergent drawer compartments are 

indicated below:
1)  Left compartment with number “II” (Main 

wash compartment for powder detergent or
