Washing Machine /User’s Manual
Preparation
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.
Using liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:
• Make sure that you have placed the liquid
detergent cup in compartment nr. "2".
• If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity, dilute
it with water before putting in the detergent
cup.
If the product does not contain a liquid
detergent cup:
• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a
programme with prewash.
• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used
with Delayed Start function. If you are going to
use the Delayed Start function, do not use liquid
detergent.
Using gel and tablet detergent
Apply the following instructions when using tablet,
gel and similar detergents.
• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and
your machine does not contain a special liquid
detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the
main wash detergent compartment during first
water intake. If your machine contains a liquid
detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup
before starting the programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in
the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly
into the drum before washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the main wash
compartment (compartment nr. "2") or directly
into the drum before washing.
C
Tablet detergents may leave residues
in the detergent compartment. If you
encounter such a case, place the tablet
detergent between the laundry, close
to the lower part of the drum in future
washings.
Use the tablet or gel detergent without
selecting the prewash function.
Using starch
• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the fabric
dye into the softener compartment.
• Do not use softener and starch together in a
washing cycle.
• Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp
and clean cloth after using starch.
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. As an alternative application,
select a programme with extra rinse and add
the bleaching agent while the machine is taking
water from the detergent compartment during
first rinsing step.
• Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by
mixing them.
