4.4 LOADING THE ITEMS FOR WASHING
1. Open the door and load the laundry, distributing it evenly over the drum, with items opened out and not
bundled together; if possible, large and small items should be well mixed.
2. The washing machine covered by this manual can be
loaded with up to 7kg
of laundry for each wash. If
this weight is exceeded, the washing results will be poor and the appliance may malfunction.
3.
To save energy it is more economical to wash full loads
of the various types of fabric, following the
guidance on quantities provided in the "Programmes Table" supplied in this manual.
4. Close the door by pressing against the frame until you hear it click shut. Take care not to trap items of
laundry between the door and the rubber gasket.
Warning!
If the door is not properly closed, a safety device prevents the washer-dryer from starting.
Do not exceed the maximum load: overloading adversely affects washing results.
4.5 ADDING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVE
The internal tray comprises three compartments, marked with the symbols
prewash detergent
main wash detergent
for fabric conditioner, starch, additives, etc. (e.g. treatment products).
The additives are added to
the washing tank automatically during the final rinse.
The main wash detergent compartment has a tang allowing the use of liquid detergent. To insert it, pull it towards
the front and then lower it.
Following the recommendations in the "Programmes Table"
supplied with this manual, place the detergent and any addi-
tives in the drawer before the start of the programme.
Never fill with liquids above the maximum level marked
; otherwise
the trays will empty too quickly.
Before pouring dense additives into the container, dilute with a little
water to ensure they do not clog the outlet.
Use only low-foam detergents suitable for use in a washer-dryer.
The amount of detergent must be decided in relation of the hard-
ness of the water, the type and quantity of items loaded, and their
degree of dirt.
This will provide the desired effect with optimal detergent consumption.
On detergent packs the recommended dose is indicated for 4 levels of water hardness and for loads of 4-5 kg of
laundry with average dirt levels.
Request information about the water's hardness from your water supply company.
