Washing Machine / User’s Manual
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 marking in the softener
compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water
before putting it in the detergent drawer.
Using liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:
• Make sure that you have placed the liquid detergent cup
in compartment nr. "2".
• If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity, dilute it with
water before putting in the detergent cup.
If the product does not contain a liquid detergent
cup:
• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a
programme with prewash.
• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with
Delayed Start function. If you are going to use the Delayed
Start function, do not use liquid detergent.
Using gel and tablet detergent
Apply the following instructions when using tablet, gel and
similar detergents.
• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine
does not contain a special liquid detergent cup, put the
gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment
during first water intake. If your machine contains a liquid
detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before
starting the programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape
of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before
washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment
(compartment nr. “2”) or directly into the drum before
washing.
C
Tablet detergents may leave residues in the detergent
compartment. If you encounter such a case, place the
tablet detergent between the laundry, close to the lower
part of the drum in future washings.
Use the tablet or gel detergent without selecting the
prewash function.
Using starch
• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the 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 water
from the detergent compartment during first rinsing step.
• Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by mixing
them.
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent
and rinse the clothes very well as it causes 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
with the detergent, put the detergent first into the
compartment nr. “2” in the detergent drawer and wait
until the detergent flows while the machine is taking
in water. Add the bleaching agent from the same
compartment while the machine is still taking in water.
Using limescale remover
• When required, use limescale removers manufactured
specifically for washing machines only.
