(French degrees) I - soft less than 8 less than 13 II - medium 8-14 13-24 III - hard 15-21 25-36 IV - very hard more than 21 more than 36 If the detergent manufacturer gives no indication of how much detergent to use for a part load, we recommend that you reduce the detergent measure by 1/3rd for a half load and that you use a half measure of detergent for a minimum load. Preliminary The washer-dryer is fitted with a special device for preliminary sof-water softening tening of the water by dispensing the softener and the detergent in two stages. In programmes without prewash it enables the softener and detergent to be dispensed separately for increased saving on detergent, and therefore less water pollution. Separate dispensing of the two substances means that initially, only the softener is added to the water. When the detergent is then added, because the water is already soft, it starts to act immediately on dirt in the fabrics. This process ensures optimum washing results, even with minimum measures of detergent. Normal water softening agents should be measured out according to the hardness of the water, following the instructions on the pack but, because of the preliminary softening device, you may reduce the quantity by 20%. In this case, always use the amount of detergent recommended on the detergent pack for level I hardness of water (soft). Even when a prewash programme is selected, it is still possible to protect the environment. Pour the detergent and water softening agent together into the prewash and main wash dispenser compartments. You may obviously continue to use normal detergents without softening agent, using an amount based on the pack recommendations and the degree of water hardness. 24 Softening agent or prewash détergent Main wash detergent Liquid additives Programme chart Warning: ■ For programmes with Prewash in which the softening agent and detergent are poured into the same dispenser compartment, always pour in first the detergent and then the softening agent. ■ If you prefer liquid detergents, use the dispenser supplied with the product. ■ The measure of liquid additive used must not exceed the ‘MAX’ level mark on the dispenser drawer ■ If thick fabric softeners or concentrated starches are used, it is advisable to dilute them by pouring water into the dispenser compartment, up to the ‘MAX’ level mark. ■ On the programme chart you will find the main washing and drying programmes.

Check that the drum has been completely emptied to avoid any items accidentally left there being damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. shrinking), or their colour running into the next laundry load. Clean the filter, especially after a drying programme. Special rinse The machine always operates with minimum water consumption. Selecting an additional rinse cycle Additional rinse adjustment device An additional rinse may be selected with programmes for cottons and easy cares. This increases both the amount of water used and the programme time. - Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer until the rinse water adjuster is accessible on the left-hand side. - Use a coin to turn the adjuster to the (••) symbol. 28 Preliminary operations for tumble drying All washer-dryers consume power to dry laundry. The machine will operate most economically if the advice below is followed: ■ Remove as much water as possible from the laundry! The machine will use less energy if the laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. A good spin reduces power consumption, shortens the drying time and enables the machine to operate more economically. ■ Use optimum loads! Keep to the loads recommended in the programme chart to ensure economical drying.
