Detergents and Additives
Only use detergents and additives designed for use in a washing machine. We do not recommend mixing different types of detergents. This may spoil the washing. There are no restrictions on the use of powder detergents. Liquid detergents must not
be used when a prewash has been selected. For cycles without prewash, they must be added via means of a dosing ball. Detergent tablets or doses must be placed in the detergent compartment of your appliance's dispenser box.
