Detergents and softeners
Detergent drawer
The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments:
– (I) for prewash
– (II) for main wash
– (III) siphon
– ( ) for softener
Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents
Add detergent and softener before starting the wash program.
Important:
Never open the detergent dispenser drawer while the washing program is running!
When using a program without pre-wash, no detergent should be put into the pre-wash
compartment (Compartment no. I).
Detergent quantity
The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, and the
degree of soiling.
Always follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack.
Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry over time.
Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation. If the washing machine detects too
much foam the cycle may not progress to the spin phase of the program.
Do not exceed the (> max <) level marking; the softener will be wasted without being used.
Do not use liquid detergent if you want to wash using the time delay feature.
