Liquid detergent is to be poured into compartment 2 only a few seconds before starting the wash cycle. Remember that liquid detergent is particularly indicated for wash cycles of up to 60 degrees and those not requiring pre-washing. Liquid or powder detergents are sold together with special containers that are to be placed directly inside the washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer. Detergents that are specifically indicated for both hand and machine wash are an exception. 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. MAX Its important for a good wash M ARGHERITA 4 In compartment 1: Detergent for pre-washing (powder) In compartment 2: Detergent for washing (powder or liquid) You must add detergent and any additives following the dosage recommended by the manufacturers: generally, all the indications you need are on the box.

Before pouring in the detergent for pre-washing in compartment 1, make sure that the extra compartment for bleach 4 has not been inserted. When pouring in the softener in compartment 3, avoid making it overflow from the grate. The washer-dryer automatically adds the softener to the wash in each programme. 1 2 3 In compartment 3: Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc. ) In compartment 4: Bleach and delicate bleach. Bleach cycle and stain remover button If bleaching is necessary, the extra case 4 (provided) must be inserted into compartment 1 of the detergent dispenser.

It is normal to find that a little water comes out after removing the lid. [. . . ]
