efficiency or low-sudsing detergent. z For better performance, it is
recommended to dissolve detergent in 1 L of water at 35 °C.
NOTE z Do not use softener. z The operation starts with the end of
hot water filled. z If “U13” appears, see page 28. z We recommend leaving the
washing machine for at least 1 hour between each use.
