Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

• 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
product.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent cup into the
main wash compartment (compartment nr. "2").
Choosing the detergent type
Detergent type to be used depends on the fabric type and color.
• 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 a special detergent made specifically for woolens.
A
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.
