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.

wash compartment (compartment number “2”).

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 less detergent for smaller loads, lightly soiled clothes or when using short duration
programmes especially in soft water areas.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level sign on the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it in the detergent drawer.
