laundry.

detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo,
etc.) used solely for delicate clothes.
• When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts,
it is recommended to use liquid detergent.

WARNING:
Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used
depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of
soiling and water hardness.
• 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.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of
the detergent drawer.
• 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.

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.
• 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
Apply the following instructions when using tablet,
gel and similar detergents.
• 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. "2") or directly
