amount of detergent
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 less detergent for small loads,
lightly soiled clothes and short duration
programmes, especially in soft water areas.
4.7.5 Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener
compartment of the detergent drawer.

pull the apparatus towards yourself.
The part that falls off will function as

apparatus must be secured at top position.
4.7.6.3 If the product does not

when used with Delayed Start function.
If you are going to use the Delayed Start
function, do not use liquid detergent.
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 container, put the gel
detergent into the main wash detergent
compartment during first water intake. If
your machine contains a liquid 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 no. "2") or
directly into the drum before washing.
C
INFORMATION
• Tablet detergents may leave residues in the
detergent compartment. If you encounter
such residues, place the tablet detergent
between the laundry, close to the lower
part of the drum in future washings.

selecting the prewash function.
C

• Select a programme with prewash and add the
bleach at the beginning of the prewash. Do not
put detergent in the prewash compartment.
Alternatively, select a programme with an
extra drying step, add the bleach to the empty
detergent compartment and once you see the
rinsing step on the display for the first time, add
1 glass of water into the same compartment.
• Do not use bleach and detergent
by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (approximately
50 ml) of bleach 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 bleaches,
select a programme that washes the
laundry at a low temperature.
• You can use oxygen-based bleaches
together with the detergent. However, if it
has a different consistency, first add the
detergent into the detergent compartment
no “2” and wait for the machine to take in
the detergent together with water. While
the product continues taking in water,
add bleach in the same compartment.
