Detergent

Only use high efficiency, low sudsing laundry detergent formu- lated for front loading washing ma- chines.

For wool and wool blend fabrics use a detergent formulated for wools.

Follow instructions on the detergent packaging for the correct use and amount of detergent. Please adjust the amount of detergent if the load is smaller or more or less soiled than nor- mal.

Add detergent to compartment j at the beginning of each wash program. Only add detergent (1/4 total recom- mended amount) to compartment i if the "Heavy soil" option was selected.

If you select the "Heavy soil" option and you are using liquid detergent, insert the liquid detergent insert into compart- ment j. This will prevent the deter- gent for the main wash being used in the first wash of the "Heavy soil" option.

Do not use chlorine bleach!

Water softener

If your water hardness level is between 2 and 3 the water can be softened to reduce detergent consumption.

Use the recommended amount of de- tergent for water hardness level 1 and then add a water softener to the deter- gent dispenser.
