The main wash detergent compartment has a tang allowing the use of liquid detergent. To insert it, pull it towards the front and then lower it. Following the recommendations in the "Programmes Table" supplied with this manual, place the detergent and any additives in the drawer before the start of the programme. Never fill with liquids above the maximum level marked; otherwise the trays will empty too quickly. Before pouring dense additives into the container, dilute with a little water to ensure they do not clog the outlet. Use only low-foam detergents suitable for use in a washing machine. The amount of detergent must be decided in relation of the hardness of the water, the type and quantity of items loaded, and their degree of dirt. This will provide the desired effect with optimal detergent consumption.
