prewash compartment (compartment nr.
“I“).
• Do not select a programme with prewash
if you are using a detergent bag or
dispensing ball. Place the detergent bag
or the dispensing ball directly among the
laundry in the machine. Remove these if
drying
• When machine is in Drying step, do
not add any washing chemicals (Liquid
detergent, Softener, etc.).
4.7.2 Main Wash Compartment
Before starting the washing Programme, put
powder detergent into the left compartment with
number “II”. Powder bleach/stain remover must
also be put into this compartment.
Put the liquid detergent into the main wash
compartment with number “II ” before starting
the washing Programme. Liquid stain remover
must be put into this compartment.
Put the suggested amount of liquid detergent
into the left compartment with “II ” symbol and
dilute it to the maximum filling 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
Put the suggested amount of liquid softener into
the right compartment with “ ” symbol and
dilute it to the maximum filling level line (max. )
with warm water.
Particularly the concentrated softeners must be
diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon
may get clogged in time.
Do not fill the softener above the maximum
filling level line; otherwise the excess amount of
softener will get mixed with the washing water
and you will need to refill the compartment. Do
not pour the softener onto the laundry directly
since this may cause stains on the garments.
Liquid softener will be dispensed automatically
at the final rinsing step of the washing
Programme.
4.7.4 Pre-Wash Compartment
Put the powder pre-wash detergent or powder
stain remover into the middle compartment with
number “I”.
You can also put liquid bleach into this
compartment while the machine takes in water
during pre-wash or first rinsing step. Adding the
liquid bleach while the machine takes in water
allows it to be diluted before it is poured onto
the laundry.

18 / EN Washer-Dryer / User Manual
You must select extra rinsing option if you use
liquid bleach in a washing Programme. Bleach
must be removed from the laundry with rinsing;
otherwise it may cause itching on the skin.
C
INFORMATION
• Read the dosage instructions and label of
your garments carefully before using the
liquid bleach.
4.7.5 Choosing the detergent type
Detergent type to be used depends on the
washing programme, fabric type and color.
• Use different detergents for
coloured and white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with
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
• Please review the program descriptions part
for suggested program for different textiles.
• All recommendations about detergents
are valid for selectable temperature
range of programmes.
A
CAUTION!
• Use only detergents manufactured
specifically for washing machines.
• Do not use Powdered Soap.
4.7.6 Adjusting the
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 lesser detergent for small
amounts or lightly soiled clothes.
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
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 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..
4.7.8 Using laundry starch
• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the
dyestuff into the softener compartment.

damp and clean cloth after using starch.
4.7.9 Using bleaches
• Select a programme with prewash and
add the bleach at the beginning of the
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.

19 / EN Washer-Dryer / User Manual
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml)
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.

4.10 Displayed Programme Time
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.
SPECIAL CASE: At programme start of
Cottons and Cotton Eco programmes, display
shows the duration of half load, 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.
