Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

•Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.

•Never open the detergent drawer while the washing programme is running!

•When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. I).

•In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. I).

•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 nr. II).

Choosing the detergent type

•When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.

•Wash woolens with special detergent made

specifically for woolens.

A Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.

Adjusting detergent amount

The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness. Read the manufacturer's instructions on the detergent package carefully and follow the dosage values.

•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.

•Use concentrated detergents in the recommended dosage.

Using softeners

Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.

•Use the dosages recommended on the package.

•Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking in 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:

•Make sure that you have placed the liquid detergent cup in compartment nr. "II".

•Use the detergent manufacturer's measuring cup and follow the instructions on the package.

•Use the dosages recommended on the package.

•If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting in the detergent cup.

If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup:

•Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash.

•Use the detergent manufacturer's measuring cup and follow the instructions on the package.

Using gel and tablet detergent
