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 rinsing problems, to save money and protect the environment.

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 compartment.
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.
