  • If you are adding a washing agent of a different nature (for example, if you are adding detergent for coloured laundry when there is detergent for white laundry in the compartment),
  • If you are adding a washing agent with a different concentration (To not waste the old detergent, you can add it to the powder detergent compartment in the next wash and select «powder detergent active» on the display.)
  • If the new softener to be added has the same characteristics but has a different scent (please keep in mind that if you add the new softener without cleaning the remnants of the previous one, this mixture will give a different smell),
  • If you are not going to use the product for a long time (for example, when going to the summer house and when returning - 3 months or more) (the washing agent may increasingly thicken and get hardened in the end, and thus the system may not perform dosing even if it shows that the compartments are full.)
