— Put the items into the drum one by one,
so that they do not get tangled up toget-
her.
— Take into account the recommended
load size for each programme.
— When washing towels, try not to wash
them on their own. Mix them in with
other clothes.
Once you have loaded the drum, close the
door by pressing on it until it is properly
closed. Make sure that no clothes get trap-
ped between the door and the rubber seal.
Adding detergent and
additives
Before starting the wash programme, add
the detergent or additive to the detergent
dispenser (Figure 3).
Depending on the model, the detergent
dispenser in your washing machine has
three or four compartments marked with
the following symbols.
compartment:
For the PREWASH detergent.
compartment:
For the MAIN WASH detergent.
compartment:
For additives like starch, fabric conditioner,
etc., if required.
compartment:
(Optional) For liquid whiteners: bleach,
etc., if required.
Note: The level of liquid should never
exceed the MAX LEVEL (Figure 3).
Optional dispenser
You can also use liquid detergent in your
washing machine. To do this you need the
optional dispenser which you can obtain
through the FAGOR SERVICE NETWORK.
This optional dispenser should be placed
in the COMPARTMENT of the deter-
gent dispenser (Figure 3-A). Always use
the amout recommended by the detergent
manufacturer. However, the detergent
should never go above the MAX level mar-
ked on the side of the dispenser.
Detergent
Only use detergents suitable for automatic
washing machines good quality detergents
which do not produce too much lather.
When washing woollen garments, only use
neutral detergents.
Detergent guide
Remenber that the amount of detergent to
be used always depends on:
— The size of the load.
— The type of clothes to be washed.
— How dirty the clothes are.
— The hardness of the water.
Using more detergent than necessary will
not improve the results of your wash. In
addition to being a waste it will also have
negative effects on the environment.
For wash programmes without a prewash, it
is best to use detergents which can be put
straight in the drum. In any case, we recom-
mend that you follow the instructions of the
manufacturer of the detergent used.
The following table will help you to deter-
mine the amount of detergent to be used,
depending on the hardness of the water
and the size of the load.
