When the programme has ended the machine will be ready for use. 1 Loading the machine Pull the door latch gently to open the door. Try always to wash full loads: for maximum load weights see the programme charts. You should only reduce the load weight for heavily-soiled items and sensitive fabrics. One way of achieving the maximum load size is to fill the drum with dry items, but without forcing them in. Another way is to weigh the first loads you wash, so you learn to estimate the right load size. Close the machine door. 2 Adding detergent and fabric conditioner The amount of detergent you use has an impact on the performance of any washing machine. Use only detergent for automatic washing machines, and follow the manufacturer's instructions when measuring the quantity. Increase the quantity of detergent if the load is heavily soiled or if you have a hard water supply. Decrease the amount for lightly soiled items or less than a full load. The detergent dispenser is used for fabric conditioner and detergent for the main wash. Put the detergent in the larger compartment on the left (Fig 1) and the fabric conditioner in the smaller one on the right (Fig. Never fill the compartment for fabric conditioner higher than the maximum level marked on it.
