Before Using
Detergent
Detergent
Use a low foam detergent.
When using a detergent made for
temperatures below 20 °C (as low as
15 °C), we recommend the “20 °C
Wash” programme.
zTo prevent powdered detergent
from remaining in detergent drawer:
• Dry inside the detergent drawer
with a cloth.
• Break up lumps in powdered
detergent.
If powder still remains in drawer,
put it directly in drum instead.
z If you forget to add detergent before
starting a wash:
Select using “Mode” (P. 26)
to drain the water, then start again.
NOTE
zDo not put detergent in the
detergent drawer, if the
instructions on the package
advise that it should be put
directly in the drum.
The detergent may not ow freely,
and some may remain in the
drawer, causing water to overow
from the drawer.
Prewashing
zYou need separate detergent for
prewash and main wash.
zUse powdered detergent for main
wash. Liquid detergent washes
away in prewash.
Water softening agent
If you live in a hard water area
(1.3 mmol/L hardness or more), we
recommend using a water softening
agent. This reduces the detergent
required, and prevents limescale,
which damages the appliance.
NOTE
zFor information on water hardness,
contact a specialist near you.
Fabric softener
Prevents laundry static.
z If any softener
remains in
detergent
drawer after
operation,
dilute the
softener with
water before pouring into the drawer.
(do not exceed the max amount)
Softener left in drawer: You can wipe
it with a wet cloth.
Laundry starch
zIf it is hard to pour starch into the
detergent drawer
Dilute the starch with water before
pouring into the drawer. (do not
exceed the max amount)
zAfter using laundry starch
1Clean detergent drawer.
(P. 30)
2Run the “Rapid 15” programme
(P. 19) without detergent to
remove excess starch in drum.

Setting of the programme for the
energy consumption values
The following procedures can
realise the energy consumption
values for the standard
programmes. The standard
programmes are mentioned
respectively as “standard 60 °C
cotton programme” and “standard
40 °C cotton programme” in
the regulations 1015/2010 and
1061/2010.
Those programmes are suitable
to clean normally soiled cotton
laundry and are the most efcient
programmes in terms of combined
energy and water consumption for
washing that type of cotton laundry.
• The actual water temperature
may differ from the declared cycle
temperature.
Washes using less energy and water,
but takes longer. (P. 46)
