through the FAGOR SERVICE NETWORK. This optional dispenser should be placed in theCOMPARTMENT of the detergent dispenser (Figure3-A).Always use the amout recommended by the detergent manufacturer. However, the detergent should never go above the MAX level marked 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 recommend that you follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the detergent used.

The following table will help you to determine the amount of detergent to be used, depending on the hardness of the water and the size of the load.

ENGLISH

Information about water hardness can be obtained from your local authority. If your water hardness is measured in german measures, divide the hardness values given above by 1.78.

Selecting the wash programme

Your washing machine offers you a wide range of programmes which will enable you to wash all types of clothing.

It has 2 types of PROGRAMME:

1.- NORMAL WASH PROGRAMMES, for resistant fabrics.

2.- DELICATE WASH PROGRAMMES, for delicate fabrics.

The wash systems included in your washing machine are ideal for washing both cotton and synthetic garments, as well as woollen, silk or acrylic garments.

Basically, what varies between PROGRAMMES is the drum rotation speed, temperature, wash time and water level.

In general, the NORMAL, cycles are best for washing resistant fabrics like cotton, resistant synthetics, linen, etc., whilst the DELICATE cycles, with slower drum rota-

tion speeds, lower temperature and higher water levels, are for synthetic fabrics, wool, silk, etc.

The models which have the wash temperature selector control have an automatic variable load control feature, which automatically adjusts the consumption of water and electricity to the a quantity of clothes to be washed.

Programme tables
