Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used
depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of
soiling and water hardness. Read the manufacturer's
instructions on the detergent package carefully and
follow the dosage values.
• 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.
• Use concentrated detergents in the
recommended dosage.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the
detergent drawer.
• Use the dosages recommended on the package.
• 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. "II".
• Use the detergent manufacturer's measuring cup
and follow the instructions on the package.
• Use the dosages recommended on the package.
• 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.
• Use the detergent manufacturer's measuring cup
and follow the instructions on the package.
• 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
When using tablet, gel, etc. detergents, read the
manufacturer's instructions on the detergent package
carefully and follow the dosage values. If there is not
any instruction on the package, apply the following.
• 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. II) 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.
C Use the tablet or gel detergent without selecting
the prewash function.
Using starch
• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the dyestuff
into the softener compartment as instructed on
the package.
• 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, follow
the instructions on the package and 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. "II" 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.
• Always follow instructions on the package.
