Detergents and softeners
Detergent Drawer
Detergent drawer of your washing machine consists
of four different compartments for powder main
wash detergent, liquid main wash detergent, liquid
softener and powder pre-wash detergent. Each of
these laundry additives are dispensed automatically
in the relevant time during the washing Programme.
Do not place the laundry additives directly into the
drum. Always use the detergent drawer.
Do not close the drawer too fast after putting the
laundry additives. This may cause the additives be
dispensed early, creating unsatisfactory washing
results and fabric damage.
C Do not open the drawer during washing
Programme.
The detergent drawer compartments are
indicated below:
1) Left compartment with number “II” (Main wash
compartment for powder detergent or powder
bleach/stain remover)
2) Left compartment with number “II ” (Main wash
compartment for liquid detergent or liquid stain
remover)
3) Middle compartment with number “I” (pre-wash
compartment for powder detergent, powder
stain remover or liquid bleach - liquid bleach
must be added either during the pre-wash
or during the first rinsing step of the washing
Programme). Liquid bleach must be added
manually while the machine takes in water.
4) Right compartment with “ ” symbol (liquid
softener compartment)

(II) Main Wash Compartment
Before starting the washing Programme, put powder
detergent into the left compartment with number “II”.
Use the detergent manufacturer’s measuring cup
and follow the instructions on the package. Powder
bleach/stain remover must also be put into this
compartment.
Put the liquid detergent into the main wash
compartment with number “II ” before starting the
washing Programme. Liquid stain remover must be
put into this compartment.
Put the suggested amount of liquid detergent into
the left compartment with “II ” symbol and dilute it
to the maximum filling level line (max. II ) with warm
water.
Particularly the concentrated detergents must be
diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may
get clogged in time.
Do not fill the detergent above the maximum filling
level line; otherwise the excess amount of detergent
will reach the laundry without water and may cause
stains on the garments.In this case you will need to
refill the compartment. Do not pour the detergent
onto the laundry directly since this may cause stains
on the garments.
Liquid Softener Compartment
Put the suggested amount of liquid softener into the
right compartment with “ ” symbol and dilute
it to the maximum filling level line (max. ) with
warm water.
Particularly the concentrated softeners must be
diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may
get clogged in time.
Do not fill the softener above the maximum filling
level line; otherwise the excess amount of softener
will get mixed with the washing water and you will
need to refill the compartment. Do not pour the
softener onto the laundry directly since this may
cause stains on the garments.
Liquid softener will be dispensed automatically at the
final rinsing step of the washing Programme.
(I) Pre-Wash Compartment
Put the powder pre-wash detergent or powder stain
remover into the middle compartment with number
“I”.
You can also put liquid bleach into this compartment
while the machine takes in water during pre-wash or
first rinsing step. Adding the liquid bleach while the
machine takes in water allows it to be diluted before
it is poured onto the laundry.
You must select extra rinsing option if you use liquid
bleach in a washing Programme. Bleach must be
removed from the laundry with rinsing; otherwise it
may cause itching on the skin.
C Read the dosage instructions and label of
your garments carefully before using the liquid
bleach.
Starch
• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the dyestuff
into the softener compartment as instructed on
the package.
• Never use fabric softener and starch together in
the same washing cycle.
• Wipe the inside of the drum after using starch.
Bleaches
If you are going to use regular bleach in your
machine, it is suggested to select a Programme
with pre-wash step and add the bleach at the
beginning of the pre-wash without putting detergent
