Using starch
•Add liquid starch, powder starch or fabric dye into the softener compartment.
•Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle.
•Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp and clean cloth after using starch.
Using bleaches
•Select a programme with prewash and add the bleaching agent at the beginning of the prewash. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application, select a programme with extra rinse and add the bleaching agent while the machine is taking in water from the detergent compartment during the first rinsing step.
•Do not use bleaching agents and detergents by mixing them.
4.8 Tips for efficient washing
Use only a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very well to avoid skin irritation. Do not pour the bleaching agent onto the clothes and do not use it for coloured clothes.
•When using oxygen based bleaches, select a programme that washes at a lower temperature.
•Oxygen based bleaches can be used together with detergents; however, if its thickness is not the same as the detergents, first put the detergent into compartment no. “2” in the detergent drawer and wait until the detergent is washed away while the machine is taking in water. Add the bleaching agent afterwards from the same compartment while the machine is taking in water.
Using limescale remover
•When required, use limescale removers manufactured specifically for washing machines only.
