STEP 4:
ADD THE DETERGENT AND THE CONDITIONER.
Recommended amount of detergent is usually speci
fi
ed on the detergent packaging. When washing a
smaller amount of laundry, the amount of detergent used can be decreased.
Observe manufacturers' recommendations regarding the type of detergent suitable for certain temperatures,
load size, and water hardness.
Powder detergent
Add powder detergent into the main wash detergent compartment. If you have selected the Prewash function
or Heavy program, Stain program Co
ff
ee or Fruit, or the Time program with 2:30 or longer duration, then add
powder detergent to the prewash detergent compartment.
We recommend adding the powder detergent immediately before the washing cycle. Otherwise, make
sure the detergent compartment in the dispenser tray is completely dry before adding the powder detergent,
as otherwise, the powder detergent may cake before the start of the washing process.
Liquid detergent
When using a liquid detergent, observe the detergent manufacturer's recommendations. When using thick
detergents, we recommend always using the laundry balls. Use the barrier (3) in the detergent compartment;
see
fi
gure in the chapter detergent tray. Add the liquid detergent in the front part of the detergent
compartment in the dispenser tray (2).
Laundry ball or washing bag
If you are using a laundry ball or a washing bag, place it directly into the drum and choose a program without
any prewash.
An excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results. Rather, it will lead to foaming and
increase the environmental impact. We recommend using less detergent. Only increase the dosage if you are
not satis
fi
ed with the washing results.
Conditioner
Pour the conditioner into the dispenser tray, into the compartment with the symbol
. Observe the
recommendation on the conditioner packaging.
Do not fill the conditioner compartment over the max. indication (maximum indicated level). Otherwise, the
conditioner will be added to the laundry too soon, leading to poorer washing effect.
