Warning: Use only detergents
manufactured specifically for
washing machines.
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 no. "1").
In a programme with prewash, do not put
liquid detergent into the prewash
compartment (compartment no. "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
no. "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 with special
detergents only (liquid detergent, wool
shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate
clothes.
• When washing dark coloured clothes and
quilts, it is recommended to use a liquid
detergent.
Wash woollens with special detergent made
specifically for woollens.
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 and poor rinsing. Using the correct
amount will also save you money and help
the environment.
Use less 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 pouring it into the
detergent drawer.
Using liquid detergents
If the machine has a liquid detergent cup:
• Make sure that you have placed the liquid
detergent cup in compartment no. "2".
If the liquid detergent has lost its “fluidity”,
dilute it with water before pouring it in the
detergent cup.
If the product does not have a liquid
detergent cup
• Do not use liquid detergent for prewashing
in a programme with prewash.
• Liquid detergent stains clothes when used
with the 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 have a dedicated
liquid detergent cup, pour the gel detergent
into the main wash detergent compartment
during the first water intake. If your machine
has a liquid detergent cup, pour the
detergent into the cup before starting the
programme.
If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal
or it is a capsule liquid tablet, place it directly
into the drum before washing.
• Place tablet detergents into the main wash
compartment (compartment no. "2") or
directly into the drum before washing.
Tablet detergents may leave residues in the
detergent compartment. If this should occur,
place the tablet detergent in amongst the
laundry near the lower part of the drum for
future washes.
Use the tablet or gel detergent without
selecting the prewash function.
