Washing Machine / User’s Manual
• If you are using liquid detergent, do
not forget to place the liquid detergent
cup into the main wash compartment
(compartment nr. 2).
3.7 Choosing the detergent type
The type of detergent to be used depends on
the type and colour of the fabric.
• Use different detergents for coloured
and white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with
special detergents (liquid detergent,
wool shampoo, etc.) used solely for
delicate clothes.
• When washing dark coloured clothes
and quilts, it is recommended to use
liquid detergent.
• Wash woolens with special detergent
made specifically for woolens.
A
WARNING
Use only detergents manufactured
specifically for automatic washing machines.
Do not use soap powder.
3.8 Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be
used depends on the amount of laundry, the
degree of soiling and water hardness. Read the
manufacturer's instructions on the detergent
package carefully and follow the dosage
values.
• Do not use amounts exceeding the
dosage quantities recommended on the
detergent package to avoid problems of
excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial
savings and finally, environmental
protection.
• Use lesser detergent for small amounts
or lightly soiled clothes.
• Use concentrated detergents in the
recommended dosage.
3.9 Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener
compartment of the detergent drawer.
• Use the dosages recommended on the
package.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level
marking in the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute
it with water before putting it in the
detergent drawer.
Using bleaches
• Select a programme with prewash
and add the bleaching agent at the
beginning of the prewash. Do not put
detergent in the prewash compartment.
• Do not use bleaching agent and
detergent by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml)
of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes
very well as it causes skin irritation. Do
not pour the bleaching agent onto the
clothes and do not use it for coloured
clothes.
• When using oxygen based bleaches,
follow the instructions on the package
and 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 with the
detergent, put the detergent first into
the compartment nr. "II" in the detergent
drawer and wait until the detergent
flows while the machine is taking in
water. Add the bleaching agent from the
same compartment while the machine is
still taking in water.
Using limescale remover
• When required, use limescale removers
manufactured specifically for washing
machines only.
• Always follow instructions on the
package.
