– ( ) in addition, there is a siphon piece in the 

softener compartment.

Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

•  Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.

•  While the washing cycle is in progress, do not leave the detergent dispenser open!

•  When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash 

compartment (compartment nr. "1"). 

•  In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment 

(compartment nr. "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 container into the main 

wash compartment (compartment number “2”).

Choosing the detergent type

Detergent type to be used depends on the fabric type and color.

•  Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.

•  Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) 

used solely for delicate clothes. 

•  When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.

•  Wash woolens with special detergent made specifically for woolens.

A

CAUTION: 

Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.

CAUTION: 

Do not use soap powder.

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, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental 

protection.

•  Use lesser 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 sign on the softener compartment.

•  If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it in the detergent drawer.
