Do not exceed the weight limits stated below, which refer to the weight when dry: Sturdy fabrics: max 6 kg Synthetic fabrics: max 2. 5 kg Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg Wool: max 1, 5 kg MAX 4 1 3 How much does your laundry weigh? compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder) Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed. compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the wash cycle start. compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc. ) The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid. extra compartment 4: Bleach 1 sheet 400-500 g 1 pillow case 150-200 g 1 tablecloth 400-500 g 1 bathrobe 900-1, 200 g 1 towel 150-250 g Special items Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle. Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1, 5 kg. !Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam. Bleach cycle !Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the “max” level indicated on the central pivot (see figure). MAX MAX To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into extra compartment 4, set the Rinse programme and enable the Stain removal option (see page 11).
