with water before putting in the detergent cup.  
When using a programme without prewash,  
do not put any detergent into the prewash  
compartment (compartment nr. I).  
In a programme with prewash, do not put  
liquid detergent into the 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.  
If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget  
to place the liquid detergent cup into the main  
wash compartment (compartment nr. II).  
If the product does not contain a liquid  
detergent cup:  
Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a  
programme with prewash.

cup and follow the instructions on the package.  
Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used  
with Delayed Start function. If you are going  
to use the Delayed Start function, do not use  
liquid detergent.  
Choosing the detergent type  
The type of detergent to be used depends on the  
type and colour of the fabric.  
Use different detergents for coloured and white  
laundry.  
Wash your delicate clothes only with special  
detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo,  
etc.) used solely for delicate clothes.  
When washing dark coloured clothes and  
quilts, it is recommended to use liquid  
detergent.  
Using gel and tablet detergent  
When using tablet, gel, etc. detergents, read  
the manufacturer's instructions on the detergent  
package carefully and follow the dosage values. If  
there is not any instruction on the package, apply  
the following.  
Wash woolens with special detergent made  
specifically for woolens.  
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 cup, fill the detergent into this cup  
before starting the programme.  
Use only detergents manufactured specifically  
for washing machines.  
A
A
Do not use soap powder.  
Adjusting detergent amount  
The amount of washing detergent to be used  
depends on the amount of laundry, the degree  
of soiling and water hardness. Read the  
manufacturer's instructions on the detergent  
package carefully and follow the dosage values.

prewash. Do not put detergent in the prewash  
compartment. As an alternative application,  
select a programme with extra rinse and add  
the bleaching agent while the machine is taking  
water from the detergent compartment during  
first rinsing step.  
Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by  
mixing them.  
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  
bleaching agent onto the clothes and do not  
use it for coloured clothes.  
When using oxygen based bleaches,  
follow the instructions on the package and  
select a programme that washes at a lower  
temperature.

with detergents; however, if its thickness is  
not the same with the detergent, put the  
detergent first into the compartment nr. "II"  
in the detergent drawer and wait until the  
detergent flows while the machine is taking in  
water. Add the bleaching agent from the same  
compartment while the machine is still taking in  
water.  
Using limescale remover  
When required, use limescale removers  
manufactured specifically for washing  
machines only.  
Always follow instructions on the package.
