Softener
Add softener before you start the
programme – the washing machine
automatically adds it to the final rinse cycle.
● Dilute concentrated softeners before you
add them. Only add up to 10 ml to the
compartment to avoid over-flowing.
Undiluted
softener
Water
Softener should not
exceed the MAX level in
the compartment.
*
Wash out unused softener with a splash of water
or a damp cloth after the programme has finished.
If it sticks in the compartment put out the drawer
and clean it up.(see page 27)
Note
● Foaming varies according to the amount
and type of detergent you use, as well as
how soiled the laundry is, and the hardness
and temperature of the water.
● When opening the door mid-operation,
water and foams droplets may fall from the
door and the door hole.
In this case, you may require a towel to be
used to catch any of them if necessary.
Read before using
Adding detergent and softener
Water softening agent
(strongly recommended in hard
water areas)
*
If you live in a hard water area, we recommend
use of a water softening agent to soften the water.
*
Always check the package for the appropriate
amount to use.
*
Always add your water softener after your detergent.
*
Use of a water softening agent can help reduce
the amount of detergent required for each
wash, and it will help to prevent the formation
of limescale deposits which may damage the
machine.
For main washing cycle
For prewash cycles
Detergent for
prewashing
● Always put prewash detergent in
this compartment when you select
programmes with prewash cycles.
If the instructions on the package indicate that gel detergent or liquid detergent
tablets should be placed in the drum, do not put them into the detergent
drawer. These detergents may not flow well and remain in the detergent drawer.
