Detergents

Adding detergent
Press the yellow button
on the lid
of the detergent compartment.
The lid will spring open.
The lid will also open at the end of a
program.
Add the detergent to the detergent
compartment.
Push the lid shut until you hear it click
into place.
The detergent must not cause the
detergent-compartment lid to get
stuck. This can prevent the lid from
opening during the program.
Do not overfill the detergent com-
partment.
Ensure that the detergent packaging
is properly closed after use. This pre-
vents the detergent from getting
damp and clumping together.
You can also apply a small amount of
detergent to the inner panel of the
door in programs that have a pre-
wash stage (see “Program overview”).
