Programme progress display When you select a programme, the leds corresponding to the different steps during the programme light on. When the programme starts, only the concerned led of the programme cycle stays lighted on. This capacity may vary depending on the nature of your textiles. Reduce the quantity of washing if it is very dirty or if you have terry cloth type materials. Not all textiles have the same volume and the same water retention capacity. This is why in general the drum should be filled: · completely, but without excessive pressure for cotton and linen, and for mixed washe, · half full for treated cottons and synthetic fibers, 14 User's instructions · about one third full for very delicate articles such as net curtains and wool. For a mixed wash, fill the drum as required for the most delicate material. 5. 3. Detergents and additives Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a washing machine. Read the manufacturer's instructions and respect sections 2. 1 and 3. 2. Powder detergents can be used without restriction; liquid detergents should be poured either in the proportioning bowl directly in the drum, or in the wash compartment provided that the washing machine is started immediately; detergents in tablets or doses must be put into the wash compartment of the detergents dispenser in your washing machine. The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the amount of washing to be washed, the hardness of the water and how dirty the washing is. If the water is soft, you can reduce the doses slightly. Increase the doses slightly if the water is hard (it is recommended to use a water softener) or if the washing is very dirty or stained. You can ask the water distribution company in your region or any other competent authority to find out the degree of hardness of your water. 15 User's instructions 5. 4.
