Before Using
Use a low foam detergent.
When using a detergent made for
temperatures below 20 °C (as low as
15 °C), we recommend the
“20 °C Wash” programme.
● To prevent powdered detergent
from remaining in detergent drawer:
• Dry inside the detergent drawer
with a cloth.
• Break up lumps in powdered
detergent.
If powder still remains in drawer, put
it directly in drum instead.
● If you forget to add detergent before
starting a wash:
Select O using “Mode” (P.26) to
drain the water, then start again.
NOTE
● Do not put detergent in the
detergent drawer, if the
instructions on the package
advise that it should be put
directly in the drum.
The detergent may not flow freely,
and some may remain in the
drawer, causing water to overflow
from the drawer.
■Prewashing
● You need separate detergent for
prewash and main wash.
● Use powdered detergent for main
wash. Liquid detergent washes
away in prewash.
If you live in a hard water area
(1.3 mmol/L hardness or more), we
recommend using a water softening
agent. This reduces the detergent
required, and prevents limescale,
which damages the appliance.
NOTE
● For information on water hardness,
contact a specialist near you.
Prevents laundry static.
● If any
softener
remains in
detergent
drawer after
operation,
dilute the
softener with water before pouring
into the drawer. (do not exceed the
max amount)
Softener left in drawer: You can
wipe it with a wet cloth.
● If it is hard to pour starch into the
detergent drawer
Dilute the starch with water before
pouring into the drawer. (do not
exceed the max amount)
● After using laundry starch
1 Clean detergent drawer.
(P.30)
2 Run the “Rapid 15” programme
