Before You Start Washing
■Lightly to normally
soiled
: No washing options (PREWASH / INTENSIVE)
are necessary for more eco-friendly operation.
■Normally to heavily
soiled
: Select INTENSIVE as an option for better
washing results.
■Heavily soiled : Select PREWASH as an option for better
washing results.
■Use the amount of detergent recommended on the detergent package.
The type and amount of detergent depends on the type of fabric, load
size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.
Use less detergent if :
- you wash a small load.
- the laundry is slightly soiled.
■Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation which reduces
rinse efciency or may cause a water leak.
■Depending on the detergent brand, detergent may remain undissolved
when the water pressure is low, or when the water temperature is low.
ÆPage 18 : Care and Maintenance (Cleaning the detergent dispenser).
■Do not use liquid detergent when using the PREWASH option.
■The detergent and any additives must be poured into the appropriate
dispenser.
ÆPage 6 : Product Descriptions (Detergent Dispenser).
■Pour in the detergent before you press the START/PAUSE button. If
you add the PREWASH option, pour detergent into both dispensers
( ) before starting.
■For dyeing and bleaching, use dyes and bleaches that are suitable for
washing machines.
■
For water softener and limescale removal agents, follow the instructions
on the package.
