Preparation, Liquid Softener Compartment, Bleaches

Preparation

Particularly the concentrated detergents must be diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may get clogged in time.

Do not fill the detergent above the maximum filling level line; otherwise the excess amount of detergent will reach the laundry without water and may cause stains on the garments.In this case you will need to refill the compartment. Do not pour the detergent onto the laundry directly since this may cause stains on the garments.

Liquid Softener Compartment

Put the suggested amount of liquid softener into the right compartment with “” symbol and dilute it to the maximum filling level line (max. ) with warm water.

Particularly the concentrated softeners must be diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may get clogged in time.

Do not fill the softener above the maximum filling level line; otherwise the excess amount of softener will get mixed with the washing water and you will need to refill the compartment. Do not pour the softener onto the laundry directly since this may cause stains on the garments.

Liquid softener will be dispensed automatically at the final rinsing step of the washing Programme.

(I) Pre-Wash Compartment

Put the powder pre-wash detergent or powder stain remover into the middle compartment with number “I”.

You can also put liquid bleach into this compartment while the machine takes in water during pre-wash or first rinsing step. Adding the liquid bleach while the machine takes in water allows it to be diluted before it is poured onto the laundry.

You must select extra rinsing option if you use liquid bleach in a washing Programme. Bleach must be removed from the laundry with rinsing; otherwise it may cause itching on the skin.

CRead the dosage instructions and label of your garments carefully before using the liquid bleach.

Starch

•Add liquid starch, powder starch or the dyestuff into the softener compartment as instructed on the package.

•Never use fabric softener and starch together in the same washing cycle.

•Wipe the inside of the drum after using starch.

Bleaches

If you are going to use regular bleach in your machine, it is suggested to select a Programme with pre-wash step and add the bleach at the beginning of the pre-wash without putting detergent into the pre-wash compartment. Alternatively, it is suggested to select a Programme with extra rinsing and add the bleach while the machine takes in water from the detergent drawer in the first rinsing step. Bleach should not be mixed with detergent. Since the bleach may cause irritation on skin, little amounts must be used and rinsed thoroughly. Do not pour bleach directly onto the laundry and do not use it with colour laundry.

When using oxygen based bleach, follow the instructions on the package and select a Programme at low temperature. Oxygen based bleach can be used together with the detergent. However, if it is not at the same thickness with the detergent, then it must be added from the compartment number “II” right after the detergent foams with water.

Eliminating lime formation

•When required, use only appropriate lime removers developed specifically for washing machines and always follow the instructions on the package.
