CHOOSING THE DETERGENT TYPE
The type of detergent to be used depends on the type and colour of the fabric.
• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool
shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate clothes.
•
When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
WARNING: Use only detergents
manufactured specifically for washing
machines.
WARNING: Do not use soap powder.
ADJUSTING DETERGENT AMOUNT
The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of
soiling and water hardness.
• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent
package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally,
environmental protection.
• Use lesser detergent for small amounts or lightly soiled clothes.
USING SOFTENERS
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking in the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it in the detergent
drawer.
USE OF LIQUID DETERGENT
If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup:
•
Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with Delayed Start function. If you are
going to use the Delayed Start function, do not use liquid detergent.
Using gel and tablet detergent
Apply the following instructions when using tablet, gel and similar detergents.
•
If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine does not contain a special liquid
detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first
water intake. If your machine contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup
before starting the programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it
directly into the drum before washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the laundry detergent or directly into the drum before washing.
Tablet detergents may leave residues in
the detergent compartment. If you
encounter such a case, place the tablet
detergent between the laundry, close to
the lower part of the drum in future
washings.
