Adding detergent/conditioner
Important: Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use
in domestic washing machines.
Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/condi-
tioner manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packag-
ing.
The amount of detergent used depends on:
– the washing’s degree of soiling,
– the load size
– the hardness of the tap water.
Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi-
um). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for
hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you
with information about water hardness in your area.
The suggested dosage in the display may therefore just be a guideline.
1. Pull out the detergent drawer as far as it will go.
2. Add the detergent/conditioner.
3. Push the detergent drawer in fully.
Washing powder/tablets for the main wash cycle
If you are using water softener and require the right compartment for
detergent for the pre-wash cycle, add the water softener on top of the
detergent for the main wash cycle in the left compartment.
