3.7 Using detergent and softener
C
When using detergent, softener, starch, fabric dye, bleach
or limescale remover read the manufacturer's instructions
on the package carefully and follow the suggested dosage
values. Use measuring cup if available.
Detergent Drawer
Detergent drawer of your washing machine consists of four
different compartments for powder main wash detergent,
liquid main wash detergent, liquid softener and powder
pre-wash detergent. Each of these laundry additives are
dispensed automatically in the relevant time during the
washing Programme.
Do not place the laundry additives directly into the drum.
Always use the detergent drawer.
Do not close the drawer too fast after putting the laundry
additives. This may cause the additives be dispensed early,
creating unsatisfactory washing results and fabric damage.
C
Do not open the drawer during washing Programme.
The detergent drawer compartments are indicated
below:
1) Left compartment with number “II” (Main wash
compartment for powder detergent or powder bleach/
stain remover)
2) Left compartment with number “II ” (Main wash
compartment for liquid detergent or liquid stain remover)
3) Middle compartment with number “I” (pre-wash
compartment for powder detergent, powder stain remover
or liquid bleach - liquid bleach must be added either
during the pre-wash or during the first rinsing step of
the washing Programme). Liquid bleach must be added

(II) Main Wash Compartment
Before starting the washing Programme, put powder
detergent into the left compartment with number “II”. Use
the detergent manufacturer’s measuring cup and follow the
instructions on the package. Powder bleach/stain remover
must also be put into this compartment.
Put the liquid detergent into the main wash compartment
with number “II ” before starting the washing Programme.
Liquid stain remover must be put into this compartment.
Put the suggested amount of liquid detergent into the
left compartment with “II ” symbol and dilute it to the
maximum filling level line (max. II ) with warm water.
Particularly the concentrated detergents must be diluted with
warm water; otherwise, the siphon may get clogged in time.
Do not fill the detergent above the maximum filling level
line; otherwise the excess amount of detergent will
reach the laundry without water and may cause stains
on the garments.In this case you will need to refill the
compartment. Do not pour the detergent onto the laundry
directly since this may cause stains on the garments.
Liquid Softener Compartment
Put the suggested amount of liquid softener into the right
compartment with “ ” symbol and dilute it to the maximum
filling level line (max. ) with warm water.
Particularly the concentrated softeners must be diluted with
warm water; otherwise, the siphon may get clogged in time.
Do not fill the softener above the maximum filling level
line; otherwise the excess amount of softener will get
mixed with the washing water and you will need to refill the
compartment. Do not pour the softener onto the laundry
directly since this may cause stains on the garments.
Liquid softener will be dispensed automatically at the final
rinsing step of the washing Programme.
(I) Pre-Wash Compartment
Put the powder pre-wash detergent or powder stain remover
into the middle compartment with number “I”.
You can also put liquid bleach into this compartment while
the machine takes in water during pre-wash or first rinsing
step. Adding the liquid bleach while the machine takes in
water allows it to be diluted before it is poured onto the
laundry.
You must select extra rinsing option if you use liquid bleach
in a washing Programme. Bleach must be removed from
the laundry with rinsing; otherwise it may cause itching on
the skin.
C
Read the dosage instructions and label of your garments
carefully before using the liquid bleach.
Starch
• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the dyestuff into the
softener compartment as instructed on the package.
• Never use fabric softener and starch together in the same
washing cycle.
• Wipe the inside of the drum after using starch.
