Adding detergent
i =Compartment soak/pre-wash
j =Compartment main wash
p =Compartment fabric c onditioner
Water is taken in through compartment
i in the pre-wash.
Water is taken in through compartment
j in the main wash. If the capacity of
compartment j is insufficient for the
amount of detergent needed (e.g. in
very hard water areas), the machine
can be programmed so that water and
detergent can also be taken into the
main wash through compartment i ,
see “Programmable functions”, “Activat-
ing compartment i“ .
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in water
hardness ranges II-IV. Dispense ac-
cording to the amount specified on the
packaging. First add detergent and
then the water softener.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment j in the fol-
lowing order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain salts
This way the agents are distributed
more efficiently.
Fabric conditioners, tex-turisers, liquid starch
Fabric conditioners make garments
soft and fluffy to handle and help pre-
vent static cling when tumble drying.
Texturisers are synthetic starch formula-
tions and give body to items e.g. shirts,
tablecloths and bed linen.
Starch gives body to items of washing.
Dispense according to the amount
specified on the packaging.
