Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents
• Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.
• While the washing cycle is in progress, do not leave the detergent dispenser open!
• 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 container into the main wash
compartment (compartment number “2”).
Choosing the detergent type
Detergent type to be used depends on the fabric type and color.
• 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
CAUTION: Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.
CAUTION: 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 sign on 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:
• Put the liquid detergent container into the
compartment no “2”.
• If the liquid detergent lost its fluidity, dilute it
with water before putting it into the detergent
container.
