Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents
• Add detergent and softener before starting the
washing programme.
• Never leave the detergent drawer open while the
washing programme is running!
• When using a programme without prewash,
do not put any detergent into the prewash
compartment (compartment nr. "1").
• In a programme with prewash, do not put
liquid detergent into the prewash compartment
(compartment nr. "1").
• Do not select a programme with prewash if you
are using a detergent bag or dispensing ball.
Place the detergent bag or the dispensing ball
directly among the laundry in the machine.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget
to place the liquid detergent cup into the main
wash compartment (compartment nr. "2").
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 washing
machines.
A
WARNING:
Do not use soap powder.
Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used
depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of
soiling and water hardness.
• 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.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of
the detergent drawer.
• 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.
