level line (max. II ) with warm water.
Particularly the concentrated detergents
must be diluted with warm water; otherwise,
the siphon may get clogged in time.
Do not fill the detergent above the maximum
filling level line; otherwise the excess amount of
detergent will reach the laundry without water
and may cause stains on the garments.In this
case you will need to refill the compartment. Do
not pour the detergent onto the laundry directly
since this may cause stains on the garments.
4.7.3 Liquid Softener Compartment

coloured and white laundry.

special detergents (liquid detergent, wool
shampoo, etc.) intended solely for delicate
clothes and at suggested programmes.
• When washing dark coloured clothes
and quilts, it is recommended
to use liquid detergent.
• Wash woolens at suggested
programme with special detergent
made specifically for woolens

quantities recommended on the detergent
package to avoid problems of excessive
foam, poor rinsing, financial savings
and finally, environmental protection.

4.7.7 Using gel and tablet detergent
• 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

detergent container, fill the detergent into this
container 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 into the drum before washing.
C
INFORMATION
• Tablet detergents may leave residues in
the detergent compartment. If you notice
such residues, place the tablet detergent
between the laundry, close to the lower
part of the drum in future washings.
• Use the tablet or gel detergent without
selecting the prewash function.
• Bear in mind that any plastic detergent
cup, bowl etc in the drum should
be removed before drying..

prewash. Do not put detergent in the
prewash compartment. As an alternative
application, select a programme with
extra rinse, add the bleach into an empty
detergent drawer compartment and
also add 1 glass of water from the same
compartment when you see the rinsing
step on the display for the first time.
• Do not use bleach and detergent
by mixing them.

of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes
very well as it causes skin irritation. Do
not pour the bleach onto the laundry and
do not use it with the coloured items.
• When using oxygen-based whitener,
select a programme which washes
the laundry at a low temperature.
• Oxygen-based whitener can be used with
the detergent; however, if it is a different
consistency, first put detergent in the
compartment number “II” in the detergent
dispenser and wait for the machine to flush
the detergent when taking in water. While
the product continues taking in water, add
whitener in the same compartment.

You can see the programme duration
on the display of your machine while
selecting a programme. Depending on the
amount of laundry you have loaded into
your machine, foaming, unbalanced load
conditions, fluctuations in power supply,
water pressure and programme settings,
the programme duration is automatically
adjusted while the programme is running.

which is the most common use case. After
programme starts, in 20-25 minutes actual
load is detected by the machine. And if the
detected load is higher than half load; washing
programme will be adjusted accordingly and
programme duration increased automatically.
You may follow this change on the display.
