• Use different detergents for coloured and
white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with spe-
cial 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 de-
tergent.
• Wash woollens at suggested programme
with special detergent made specifically
for woollens.
• Please review the programme descriptions
part for suggested programme for different
textiles.
• All recommendations about detergents are
valid for selectable temperature range of
programmes.
Only detergents, softeners and ad-
ditives suitable for washing ma-
chines should be used.
Do not use soap powder.
Adjusting the Detergent Amount
The amount of detergent depends on the
amount of laundry, how soiled they are and
the water hardness.
• Do not exceed the recommended dosage
values on the detergent packaging in order
to eliminate excessive foam and poor rins-
ing problems, to save money and protect
the environment.
• Use less amounts of detergent for fewer or
less soiled laundry.
Using Softeners
Put the softener in the softener compartment
of the detergent drawer.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level sign in
the softener compartment.
• If the softener is not fluid, dilute with water
before placing in the softener compart-
ment.
WARNING
Do not use liquid detergents or other
materials with cleaning properties
unless they are intended for use in
washing machines for softening the
laundry.
Using Liquid Detergents
If the Product Has a Liquid Detergent
Apparatus
• Press and rotate the apparatus at where it
is shown when you want to use liquid de-
tergents. The part falling below will serve
as a barrier for liquid detergent.
• Clean with water at its place or by remov-
ing from its place when it is necessary. Do
not forget to place the apparatus in the
main washing compartment (compartment
no. “2”) after cleaning.
• The apparatus should be up if you will use
a powder detergent. The fan that you
would see in this position will mix the
powder detergent and help it to dissolve.

Use of Gel and Tablet Detergents
• If the detergent is fluid and there is no li-
quid detergent compartment in your
product, place the gel detergent in the
main washing detergent compartment in
first water intake. If your product has a li-
quid detergent compartment, fill the com-
partment with detergent before starting
the programme.
• If the gel detergent is not fluid or is in a
capsule liquid tablet, place directly inside
the drum before washing.
• Put the tablet detergent in the main wash-
ing compartment (compartment no. “2”) or
directly inside the drum before washing.
Using Starch
• Put in the liquid starch, powder starch or
fabric dye in the softener compartment.
• Do not use softener and starch in the
same washing programme simultaneously.
• Wipe the inside of the product with a
damp and clean cloth after using starch.
Using Anti-Limescale
• When necessary, only use anti-limescale
produced for washing machines.
Using Bleach and Decolourants
• Select a programme with pre-washing and
add bleach at the start of pre-washing. Do
not put detergent in the pre-wash com-
partment. As an alternative application, se-
lect a programme with additional rinsing
and add the bleach while the product is
receiving water to the detergent compart-
ment in the first rinsing step.
• Do not mix and use bleach and detergent
together.
• As bleach may cause skin irritation use
only small amounts (1/2 tea cups - ap-
proximately 50 ml and rinse the laundry
well.
• Do not pour bleach directly onto the laun-
dry.
• Do not use bleach for coloured clothes.
• Select a programme with low temperature
washing while using oxygen-based decol-
ourants.
• Oxygen-based decolourants can be used
together with detergents. However, if it
does not have the same viscosity as the
detergent, first place the detergent in com-
partment no. “2” in the detergent drawer
and wait for the product to rinse away the
detergent during water intake. Add the de-
colourant to the same compartment while
the machine continues taking in water.

5.8 Displayed Programme Duration
You can view 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, fluctu-
ations in power supply, water pressure and
programme settings, the programme dura-
tion is automatically adjusted while the pro-
gramme is running.
SPECIAL CASE: At programme start of Cot-
tons and Cotton Eco programmes, display
shows the duration of half load. It 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 can
follow this change on the display.
