4.8 Tips for efficient washing
Use only a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of
bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very
well to avoid skin irritation. Do not pour the
bleaching agent onto the clothes and do not
use it for coloured clothes.
• When using oxygen based bleaches, select
a programme that washes at a lower
temperature.
• Oxygen based bleaches can be used
together with detergents; however, if its
thickness is not the same as the detergents,
first put the detergent into compartment no.
“2” in the detergent drawer and wait until the
detergent is washed away while the machine
is taking in water. Add the bleaching agent
afterwards from the same compartment
while the machine is taking in water.
Using limescale remover
• When required, use limescale removers
manufactured
specifically
for
washing
machines only.
