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 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 cup into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. "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 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 warning: Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.
A warning: 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 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. "2".
•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.
•Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with 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 contain a special liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your machine contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme.
•If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before washing.
•Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. "2") or directly into the drum before washing.
Tablet detergents may leave residues in the detergent C compartment. If you encounter such a case, place the
tablet detergent between the laundry, close to the lower part of the drum in future washings.
