Please note:
Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation. This 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 calcify the heating system, drum and hoses.
Adding the detergent and additives
The detergent dispenser has three chambers (Fig. “A”).
Prewash chamber
• Detergent for the prewash
Main wash chamber
• Detergent for the main wash
• Stain remover
• Water softener
Softener chamber
• Softener
• Liquid starch
Pour additives only up to the “MAX” mark.
If using liquid detergent, close the dispenser immediately after
adding the detergent.
Using chlorine bleach
• Wash your laundry in the required programme (coloureds, easy
care). Add an appropriate amount of chlorine bleach to the
SOFTENER chamber (close the detergent dispenser carefully).
• Immediately after the end of the programme, start the “Rinse
and Spin” programme to eliminate any residual bleach smell;
if required you can now add softener.
Never put both chlorine and softener into the softener chamber
at the same time.
• Where possible, use oxygen-based bleaches; in such cases,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Using starch
• Select the “Rinse and Spin” programme and check that the spin
speed is adjusted to 800 U/min.
• Start the programme, pull out the detergent dispenser so that
you can see approximately 3 cm of the softener chamber.
• Pour the prepared starch solution into the softener chamber
while the water is running into the detergent dispenser.
