Washing Machine / User’s Manual
Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents
• Add detergent and softener before starting the washing
programme.
• Never open the detergent drawer while the washing
programme is running!
• When using a programme without prewash, do not put any
detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr.
1).
• In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent
into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. 1).
• Do not select a programme with prewash if you are using a
detergent bag or dispensing ball. Place the detergent bag
or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the
machine.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place
the liquid detergent cup into the main wash compartment
(compartment nr. 2).
3.7 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.
• Wash woolens with special detergent made specifically for
woolens.
A
WarnInG
Use only detergents manufactured specifically for automatic
washing machines.
Do not use soap powder.
3.8 adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the
amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness.
Read the manufacturer's instructions on the detergent
package carefully and follow the dosage values.
• 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.
• Use concentrated detergents in the recommended dosage.
3.9 Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the
detergent drawer.
• Use the dosages recommended on the package.
• 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.
Using bleaches
• Select a programme with prewash and add the bleaching
agent at the beginning of the prewash. Do not put
detergent in the prewash compartment.
• Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent
and rinse the clothes very well as it causes skin irritation.
Do not pour the bleaching agent onto the clothes and do
not use it for coloured clothes.
• When using oxygen based bleaches, follow the instructions
on the package and select a programme that washes at a
lower temperature.
• Oxygen based bleaches can be used together with
detergents; however, if its thickness is not the same with
the detergent, put the detergent first into the compartment
nr. "II" in the detergent drawer and wait until the detergent
flows while the machine is taking in water. Add the
bleaching agent from the same compartment while the
machine is still taking in water.
Using limescale remover
• When required, use limescale removers manufactured
specifically for washing machines only.
• Always follow instructions on the package.
