Pour the bleach into the special compartment and set the knob (L) on the special programme "PREWASH STAIN REMOVAL" cl . When this phase has terminated add the rest of the washing and proceed with a normal wash on the most suitable programme. It is advisable not to wash a load made up entirely of articles in towelling fabric which absorb a lot of water and become too heavy. The maximum load for heavy fabrics is 5 kg, while, in the case of delicate fabrics, it is advisable not to exceed 2 kg (1 kg in the case of machine washable articles in "Machine Washable Woolens") so as to avoid the formation of creases which may be difficult to iron.
