There are three compartments in the detergent and
additive dispenser.

Compartment 1

= softener for programmes

without pre-wash ; washing
powder and powder softener
for programmes with pre-wash
or soak.

Compartment 2

= washing powder for the main

wash ; for programmes with
pre-wash, also the softener.

Compartment 3

=  Liquid additives (fabric softener

and conditioner, starch)

Please note the following :

For programmes with pre-wash and addition of
detergent and softener in the same compartment, first
add the detergent, then the softener.
If you prefer liquid detergent, please use the
measuring beakers supplied by detergent
manufacturers.  Add the detergent in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
When using liquid softener, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Fill the additive compartment only up to the “MAXI
level, otherwise the additive will spill over prematurely
and without any effect into the machine.
When using thick softener concentrate and starch, it
is recommended to top up the compartment to the
“MAXI” level with water.
If you wish to use starch in powder form, dissolve it
according to the maker’s recommendations and pour
the solution into the compartment.  Choose the “fabric
softener” programme.
