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.
Warning: 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.
•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.
