Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage and help to protect the environment: although they are biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which alter the balance of nature. We recommend the following: • use powder detergents for white cotton garments and pre-washing. €¢ use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and for all low-temperature wash cycles. €¢ use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk garments. The detergent should be poured into the relevant compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it will not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle. [. . . ] €¢ If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience. €¢ The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe. €¢ The wash cycle does not include draining: Some wash cycles require the drain phase to be started manually (see “Wash cycles and options”).
