Tips for washing and energy saving

187352
• Ifyoudonotapplytheprogramwhichincludes
thepre-washfeature,youmayaddwashing
detergentdirectlyintothedrum.
•Ifyouusethickliquidsofteneritisrecommended
todiluteitwithwater,topreventcloggingof
dispenser compartment ducts.
•Washing machine is equipped with the dispenser
partitiongate,soyoumaypourliquiddetergent
alsointothecentralcompartment.Ifyouuse
powderdetergentthegateisliftedup,andincase
ofliquiddetergentitissliddown.
•Liquiddetergentsareintendedformainwash
only,withoutpre-wash.
•Insertparticularlydelicatelinen(stockings,
delicatefemaleunderwear,etc.)intothespecial
bag.
• HighspinRPMleavelessmoistureinlaundry
whichdriesoutmuchquickerinthetumbledryer,
therebysavingenergy.
Do not put clods of detergent into the
soap dispenser as the tube in the washing
machine may clog.
