B Put the detergent or additive into the detergent dispenser before starting the wash programme. An optional detergent dispenser is to be used for this, which can be obtained from the Technical Service Network. Prewash Wash Fabric softener b Important The level of liquid must never be higher than the MAX mark printed on the dispenser wall. Remember that the amount of detergent to be used will always depend on: The amount of clothes to be washed. The hardness of the water (Information on water hardness in your area can be obtained from the competent local authorities). C Important We recommend the use of a decalcifying product if the water hardness is high in your area. Eco-note Remember that concentrated detergents exist which are more environment- and nature-friendly. The use of more detergent than necessary will not improve you washing results, and apart from costing you money it will have a negative effect on the preservation of the environment. We therefore recommend you follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions. Try and wash clothes of different sizes in the same wash programme to favour the distribution of the clothes inside the drum during spin-drying. All the models have a safety system for spin-drying that prevents spin-drying from being carried out if the distribution of the clothes inside the drum is too concentrated. If you find that the clothes are not properly wrung out, try spin-drying them again after having distributed the clothes more evenly in the drum.

If you need to add or remove a garment, press the start/pause button and make sure that the water level is not above the door overflow level and that the temperature inside is not high. Press the start/pause button again to restart the wash from the same cycle phase it had stopped at. Washing machine MAINTENANCE After each wash, leave the door open for a while to allow the air to circulate freely inside the machine. From time to time, depending on the hardness of your water, it is recommendable to run a full wash cycle using a decalcifying product. Maintenance and cleaning Important The washing machine should be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any cleaning or maintenance is carried out. 1 CLEANING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER Clean the detergent dispenser whenever there is any washing product residue left inside. C Also clean the additive compartment siphons, having removed them first. [. . . ] One of them is that the washing machine cannot be opened until it is certain that the drum is quite still.
