Washing Machine / User’s Manual

Using gel and tablet detergent

•  If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your product does not contain a special liquid 

detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during 

first water intake. If your product 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 main wash compartment (compartment nr. "2") or directly 

into the drum before washing.

Using starch

•  Put the liquid soda, powder soda or the fabric dye into the softener compartment.

  Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle.

•  Wipe the inside of the product with a damp and clean cloth after using starch.

Using limescale remover

•  When required, use limescale removers manufactured specifically for washing machines 

only. 

Using bleaches

  Add the bleach at the beginning of the washing cycle by selecting a prewash program. 

Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application, select 

a programme with extra rinse and add the bleaching agent while the product is taking 

water from the detergent compartment during first rinsing step.

•  Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by mixing them.

•  Use just a little amount (1/2 tea glass - approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the 

clothes very well as it causes skin irritation.

•  Do not pour the bleach onto the laundry.

•  Do not use it with the colored items.

•  When using oxygen-based decolorant, select a program which washes the laundry at a 

low temperature. 

•  Oxygen-based decolorants can be used together with the detergent. However, if 

its thickness is not the same with the detergent, put the detergent first into the 

compartment nr. "2" in the detergent drawer and wait until the detergent flows while 

the product is taking in water. While the machine continues taking in water, add 

decolorant in the same compartment.
