Please note:
Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency.
If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning, or prolong the programme
duration and increase the water consumption (see also remarks on foam formation in the
“Troubleshooting Guide”).
Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.
Where to put detergent and additives
The detergent drawer has three chambers (fig. “A”).
Main Wash Chamber
• Detergent for the main wash
• Stain remover
• Water softener
Softener Chamber
• Fabric softener
• Liquid starch
Pour additives only up to the “MAX” mark.
Prewash Chamber
• Detergent for the prewash
• Fabric softener ONLY when using Colours 15° plus (if available)
If you use liquid detergent, close the dispenser right after having
filled in the detergent.
Using chlorine bleach
• Wash your laundry in the desired programme (Cotton, Synthetics),
adding an appropriate amount of chlorine bleach to the SOFTENER
chamber (close the detergent dispenser carefully).
• Immediately after end of programme, start the “Rinse and Spin”
programme to eliminate any residual bleach smell; if you want,
you can add softener.
Never put both chlorine bleach and softener into the softener
chamber at the same time.
• Prefer to use bleaches on oxygen basis; in this case follow the
instructions of the manufacturer.
Using starch
• Select the “Rinse and Spin” programme and check that the spin
speed is adjusted to not more than 400 rpm.
• Start the programme, pull out the detergent dispenser so that
you can see approximately 3 cm of the softener chamber.
• Pour the starch solution prepared into the softener chamber
while the water is running into the detergent dispenser.
