adding detergent and softener
• Add detergent into the appropriate dispenser.
• Apply softener before you start washing.
• Apply detergent and softener according to the washing
amount, the soiling level, the water hardness in your area
and the manufacturer’s instructions of these products.
• For slightly dirty clothes, put a small amount of detergent
in compartment (II) of the detergent drawer.
• For excessively dirty clothes, put ¼ of the detergent to be
used in compartment (I) of the detergent drawer and the
remaining amount in compartment (II).
Dilute viscous fabric softener and fabric conditioner with water. Prevent blockage of the
overflow.
• Do not use the washing machine when the detergent drawer is removed. It may cause water
leak or it may not work normally.
• If you forget to add detergent, you can drain the washing machine by running a drain only
programme. Then you can add detergent and start the programme again. Detergent only
reaches the drum when water flushes through the detergent drawer.
• To prevent powder detergent staying in the drawer, dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth.
Make sure the powder isn’t lumpy when you add it into the drawer.
• If the rinse cycle isn’t removing all the detergent from your wash, use less detergent.
• Softener should not exceed the MAX level in the compartment.
• Wash out unused softener with a splash of water or a damp cloth after the programme has
finished.
• You can use liquid detergents in all programmes.
