Use of Gel and Tablet Detergents
• If the detergent is fluid and there is no li-
quid detergent compartment in your
product, place the gel detergent in the
main washing detergent compartment in
first water intake. If your product has a li-
quid detergent compartment, fill the com-
partment with detergent before starting
the programme.
• If the gel detergent is not fluid or is in a
capsule liquid tablet, place directly inside
the drum before washing.
• Put the tablet detergent in the main
washing compartment (compartment no.
“2”) or directly inside the drum before
washing.
• Tablet detergents may leave residue in
the detergent compartment. If you face
such residues, place the tablet detergent
among the laundry in the next washes in
a way that it will be at the bottom side of
the drum.
• Use tablet or gel detergent without se-
lecting the pre-wash function.
• Do not forget to remove elements such
as plastic detergent compartment from
the drum before drying.
Using Starch
• Put in the liquid starch, powder starch or
fabric dye in the softener compartment.
• Do not use softener and starch in the
same washing programme simultan-
eously.
• Wipe the inside of the product with a
damp and clean cloth after using starch.
Using Anti-Limescale
• When necessary, only use anti-limescale
produced for washing machines.
Using Bleach and Decolourants
• Select a programme with pre-washing
and add bleach at the start of pre-wash-
ing. Do not put detergent in the pre-wash
compartment. As an alternative applica-
tion, select a programme with additional
rinsing and add the bleach while the
product is receiving water to the deter-
gent compartment in the first rinsing step.
• Do not mix and use bleach and detergent
together.
• As bleach may cause skin irritation use
only small amounts (1/2 tea cups - ap-
proximately 50 ml and rinse the laundry
well.
• Do not pour bleach directly onto the laun-
dry.
• Do not use bleach for coloured clothes.
• Select a programme with low temperat-
ure washing while using oxygen-based
decolourants.
• Oxygen-based decolourants can be used
together with detergents. However, if it
does not have the same viscosity as the
detergent, first place the detergent in
compartment no. “2” in the detergent
drawer and wait for the product to rinse
away the detergent during water intake.
Add the decolourant to the same com-
partment while the machine continues
taking in water.
