    any material from the drum.
    ●Pour 2 litres of water into the main
    wash compartment  of the
    detergent drawer in order to activate
    the ECO valve. Then run a cotton
    cycle at 95°C, without any laundry in

    fabric softener
    Pull out the dispenser drawer until it
    stops. Measure out the amount of
    detergent required, pour it into the main
    wash compartment  and, if you wish
    to carry out the “prewash” phase, pour
    it into the compartment marked  .
    If required, pour fabric softener into the
    compartment marked  (the amount
    used must not exceed the “MAX” mark
    in the drawer). Close the drawer gently.
