Detergent, softener and other cleaning
agents

the washing programme.

washing programme is running!

prewash, do not put any detergent into the

put liquid detergent into the prewash
compartment (compartment nr. I).

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.

not forget to place the liquid detergent
cup into the main wash compartment
(compartment nr. II).
Choosing the detergent type
The type of detergent to be used depends on
the type and colour of the fabric.

white laundry.

special detergents (liquid detergent, wool
shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate
clothes.

quilts, it is recommended to use liquid
detergent.

made specifically for woolens.

specifically for washing machines.

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. 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.
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 liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid detergent
cup:
• Make sure that you have placed the liquid
detergent cup in compartment nr. "II".
• Use the detergent manufacturer's
measuring cup and follow the instructions
on the package.
• Use the dosages recommended on the
package.
• If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity,
dilute it with water before putting in the
detergent cup.
If the product does not contain a liquid
detergent cup:
• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash
in a programme with prewash.
• Use the detergent manufacturer's
measuring cup and follow the instructions
on the package.
• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when
used with Delayed Start function. If you are
going to use the Delayed Start function, do
not use liquid detergent.
Using gel and tablet detergent
When using tablet, gel, etc. detergents,
read the manufacturer's instructions on the
detergent package carefully and follow the
dosage values. If there is not any instruction on
the package, apply the following.
• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and
your machine does not contain a special
liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent
into the main wash detergent compartment
during first water intake. If your machine
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. II) or
directly into the drum before washing.
C
Tablet detergents may leave residues in the
detergent compartment. If you encounter
such a case, place the tablet detergent
between the laundry, close to the lower
part of the drum in future washings.
