Adding Detergent Tablet

Detergent tablets can also be used when washing 

as an alternative to powder or liquid.

Open the door and put detergent tablets into 

the drum.

Load the clothes into the drum and close the 

door.

NOTE

 

Do not put tablets into the drawer.

Adding Fabric Softener

 

Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling 

can cause early dispensing of the fabric 

softener, which may stain clothes. Close the 

dispenser drawer slowly.

 

Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent 

drawer for more than 1 day (Fabric softener may 

harden).

 

Softener will automatically be added during the 

last rinse cycle.

 

Do not open the drawer when water is being 

supplied.

 

Solvents (e.g. benzene, etc.) must not be used.

NOTE

 

Do not pour fabric softener directly onto the 

garments, as this may cause stains on your 

clothing.

Adding Water Softener

A water softener, such as anti-limescale can be 

used to cut down on the use of detergent in areas 

with high water hardness level.

 

First add detergent, and then the water softener. 

Dispense according to the amount specified on 

the packaging.
