Notes:
Too much detergent can result in excess foam
formation, which reduces washing efficiency.
If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may
prevent spinning.
Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in
time and also calcifies the heating system, drum and
hoses.

Where to put detergent and additives
The detergent drawer has three chambers (fig. “
A
”).
Chamber
•
Detergent for the prewash
Chamber
•
Detergent for the main wash
•
Stain remover
•
Water softener (water hardness class 4)
When using liquid detergent, remove the coloured insert from the
detergent container and insert it in the first gap in chamber
(fig. “
A
”).
The insert has a scale to make dosing easier.
Chamber
•
Fabric Softener
•
Liquid starch
Only pour additives in up to the “MAX” mark.
Notes:
•
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
•
Liquid detergents can be used for programmes with prewash. In this case, a powder detergent must be used
for the main wash.
•
To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use the
special detergent ball or bag supplied with the detergent and place it directly inside the drum.
•
When using descaling agents, bleaches or dyes, make sure that they are suitable for washing machines.
Descalers could contain components that can attack parts of your washing machine.
•
Do not use any solvents in the washing machine (e.g. turpentine, benzine).
•
If you use starch powder, proceed as follows:
1.
Wash your laundry using the desired wash programme.
2.
Mix the starch to water in a beaker.
3.
Select the “Rinse and Spin” programme, reduce the speed to 800 rpm and start the programme.
4.
Pull out the detergent drawer until you can see about 3 cm of chamber .
5.
Pour the starch solution into chamber while the water is running into the detergent drawer.
6.
If there are starch residues in the detergent drawer when the programme has finished, clean if necessary
(see “Cleaning and Maintenance”).
Take note also of the starch manufacturer's instructions for use.
