- Detergent for the main cycle wash;
- Fabric conditioner.
The washer-dryer is equipped with an extra compartment 4 (provided as an accessory) for the bleach, to be inserted in compartment 1.

Lamp ‘I’ flashes slowly when the appliance is switched on and awaiting instructions and at the end of a cycle, indicating that the door can be opened. It flashes quickly when the door should not be opened. A steady light means the appliance has accepted the selected programme. - Drying cycle lamp

Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.

- The door is shut correctly;
- The plug is inserted in the socket; – the water tap is turned on;
