Using detergent and softener

The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments:

- (1) for prewash

- (2) for main wash

- (3) for softener

in addition, there is a siphon piece in the softener compartment.

Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.
While the washing cycle is in progress, do not leave the detergent drawer open!
When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment no. "1").
In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment no. "1").
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 product.
If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent container into the main wash compartment (compartment no. “2”).

Choosing the detergent type

When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
Wash woolens with special detergent made specifically for woolens.

Adjusting detergent amount

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.

Using softeners

Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.
