Detergent drawer
oOpen the washing machine lid
and pull out the detergent
drawer to add detergent
powder to the wash program.
Then push the drawer back in
before introducing laundry
into the machine and setting
the wash program. Only
powder detergents should
be placed in the drawer.
oIf you wish to place detergent powder directly into the drum, you
should dilute it first in warm water. You can then place the
diluted detergent powder into the drum halfway through the
main wash fill. When you lift the lid to introduce the detergent,
you should ensure the machine has paused before doing so.
IMPORTANT: Do not place undiluted detergent powder directly
onto clothes as this can cause discoloration.
IMPORTANT: You should always use a low sudsing detergent in
your appliance.
oLiquid detergent can also be used if it is diluted first with a lot of
water and then placed into the drum. You should follow the same
procedure for detergent powder but choose a slightly higher
water level.
11

12
Bleaching agents
oA bleaching agent can be used if it first diluted with plenty of
water before pouring it into the drum.
oYou should always follow the manufacturer’s directions when
using a bleaching agent to avoid damage to clothing.
oYou should always wash the laundry as soon as possible after
the bleaching agent has been added. If the bleaching agent is
allowed to sit on clothes for a long period it can cause damage.
Softener
oAn automatic softener input device is not available with this
machine. If you would like to use softener, you should pause
the wash program before the last bleaching operation and
introduce softener manually.
oYou should always follow the manufacturer’s directions when
using softener to avoid damage to clothing.
The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance will
depend on:
oThe degree of soiling.Lightly soiled garments in general
require less detergent.
oThe size of the wash load.A smaller wash load will require a
reduction in the amount of detergent.
oThe hardness of your tap water.The harder your water is,
then the more detergent you will need to use. The detergent
manufacturers normally give guidance as to how much extra
detergent should be used, depending on the hardness of the
water.

Preparing the wash cycle
Preparing your garments for washing
oYour washing should be sorted out, according to
the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is
printed on the garment’s wash care label (see
separate section on wash care symbols).
oYour washing should also be sorted out according to the degree
of soiling.
13
oCheck all pockets on a garment to make sure
that they are empty.
oRemove any detachable metal items (badges, paperclips, safety
pins etc).
oZips should be closed, duvet covers and pillow cases should be
buttoned up and any loose straps should be tied up. This will
help to prevent other garments from getting damaged during the
wash.
oWoollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out
before being washed in the appliance.
oSmall delicate items (tights, baby socks) should be placed in
either a washing net or a zipped pillow case.
oCurtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks
or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the
appliance.
oColoured items and whites should be washed
in separate wash cycles.
oNew garments often contain an excess of dye, therefore it is
advisable to wash them separately for their first wash.
oGarments should be unfolded and shook out before being placed
inside the machine.

3 hours, this means that the wash program will be finished in 3
hours.
