Do not get any washing
caught between the door and the
rubber seal.

Adding detergent/conditioner
Important!
Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use
in domestic washing machines.
Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/condi-
tioner manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packag-
ing.
The amount of detergent used depends on:
–
the washing’s degree of soiling,
–
the load size
–
the hardness of the tap water.
•
If the manufacturer does not make any recommendations with re-
gard to small volumes of washing: for a half-load use a third less, and
for a very small load use only half the amount of detergent that is
recommended for a full load.
•
Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi-
um). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for
hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you
with information about water hardness in your area.
