Adding Detergent and Other Chemicals
Fit the liquid detergent level plate (included
with the accessories) into the detergent
compartment and use it as a mark to set
the amount of liquid detergent. Make sure
to detach the plate before running the
programme.
Note
Leaving the liquid detergent level
plate in the detergent drawer while the
programme is running may result in
water leakage, or diminished washing
and spinning performance.
For the Wool programme, use mild liquid
detergent.
Powdered detergent
2.
Detergent reaches the drum only when
water flushes through the detergent
drawer. Thus, if you forget to add
detergent, run the Drain programme.
Then, add detergent and start washing
again.
To prevent powdered detergent from
remaining in the drawer, perform the
following:
Dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth.
-
Make sure that the detergent is not
-
lumpy when you add it as this may
cause a blockage over time.
Amount of Detergent
The amount of detergent you should use
depends on the following factors:
How soiled the laundry is
-
The amount of the laundry
-
Water hardness
-
The amount of foam varies according to
the amount and type of detergent, how
soiled the laundry is, and the hardness and
temperature of the water.
Water softening agent
If you live in a hard water area, we
recommend the usage of a water softening
agent. For more details on water hardness,
contact your local water authority.
Use of a water softening agent can help
reduce the amount of detergent that is
required for each wash and help prevent
the formation of limescale deposits, which
may damage the appliance.
