13.5 Adding detergent and

care product

For programmes in which intelligent
dosing is not possible or desirable,
you can add detergent manually.

Tip: 

In addition to intelligent dosing,

you can also add additional care

mover, starch or bleach, to the
manual dosing compartment. Do not
add any additional detergent to the
manual dosing compartment to avoid
overdosage and/or foaming.
