Ext ra Ri nse 7 Detergents and laundry GB Detergent dispenser Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment. Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows. Compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup. ) When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid exceeding the "max" level indicated. The softener is added automatically into the machine during the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i. Should more than a normal amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying device is blocked.
