Adding detergent/
conditioner
Important! Only use detergents/conditioners that
are suitable for use in domestic washing machines.
Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the
detergent/conditioner manufacturer’s instructions.
Observe instructions on the packaging.
The amount of detergent used depends on
– the washing’s degree of soiling,
– the load size,
– the hardness of the tap water.
• If the manufacturer does not make any recommen-
dations with regard to small volumes of washing:
For a half-load use a third less, and for a very small
load use only the half the amount of detergent that
is recommended for a full load.
• Water softener should be used from water hard-
ness range 2 (=medium). The amount of detergent
used can then always be that as for hardness
range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will pro-
vide you with information about water hardness in
your area.
1. Pull out the detergent drawer as far as it will go.
2. Add the detergent/conditioner.
3. Push the detergent drawer in fully.
