as a result of abnormal load friction or vibration

of the appliance.

− Examples of water-proof or water-resistant

items include certain mattress pads, mattress

covers, rain gear, camping gear, skiing

apparel, outdoor gear and similar items.

Adding Detergents,

Softeners and Bleaches

Detergent Dosage

• Detergent should be selected according to

fabric type, colour, soil level and washing

temperature and should be used according to

the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.

• Too much detergent results in excessive suds

which cause poor washing.

• When you use liquid detergent, follow

the guidelines provided by the detergent

manufacturer.

• You can pour liquid detergent directly into

the main detergent drawer if you are starting

the wash cycle immediately. It is also

recommended that it be added into the drum

when loading the clothes.

• Do not use liquid detergent if you have selected

Pre Wash+Normal option, as the liquid may

harden.

• Reduce the amount of detergent if too many

suds are formed.

• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for

water temperature, water hardness, size and

soil level of the laundry. For best results, avoid

oversudsing.

• Refer to the label of the clothes, before

choosing the detergent and water temperature.

• Use only suitable detergents for the respective

type of clothing:

− General powdered detergents for all types

of fabric

− Powdered detergents for delicate fabric

− Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or

designated detergents only for wool

• For better washing performance and whitening,

use detergent that contains general powdered

bleach.

• Detergent is dispensed from the dispenser at

the beginning of the cycle.

• Dilute liquid detergent with water, pour into the

drum and start the cycle.

CAUTION

• Using liquid detergent without diluting, or

leaving laundry for a long time after pouring

diluted liquid detergent into the drum might

cause the clothes to be damaged, bleached,

discoloured.

NOTE

• Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may

lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or

odour.

• Full load: According to manufacturer’s

recommendation

• Part load: 3/4 of the normal amount

• Minimum load: 1/2 of full load

Adding Detergents

• Add the measured amount of detergent into the

detergent compartment a.

• Use more detergent if you have hard water,

large items, greasy or oily soils or lower water

temperature.

• Soap flakes or granulated soap powders should

not be used in the appliance. When washing

woollens, remember to use detergent suitable

for washing woollens.

NOTE

• Use the appropriate amount of detergent. Too

much detergent, bleach or softener may cause

an overflow or a malfunction.

Adding Fabric Softener

• Dilute fabric softener with water. Undiluted

fabric softener may result in spots that look like

oil stain.

• Measure and add the recommended amount

of fabric softener into the compartment marked

with this symbol ( ).

− Follow manufacturer’s direction.

− Fabric softener is automatically dispensed in

the final rinse with indication beep.

− If you want extra rinse, you must add fabric

softener manually when indication beep rings

in the final rinse. This maximizes the fabric

softener function.

• Do not overfill. The dispenser holds max 35

mL. Never add more than 35 mL. Overfilling

can cause early dispensing of the fabric

softener which could result in stained clothes.

A cup with a pouring spout will help you avoid

spelling.

• The effect of adding fabric softener may vary

according to its viscosity. The sticker fabric

softener makes its effect lower. For a sticky

softener it is recommended that it be diluted

with water, then be manually put during the

time when the washer beeps several times

before the final rinse. This function informing

correct time dispense manually is optionally

applied to some models. Please keep it in

mind that fabric softener has to be diluted with

water before dispensed and poured directly on

clothes.

NOTE

• Do not mix with detergent or bleach.

• Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It

may stain them.

• Do not stop the washer during the first spin for

timely dispensing.

• Option washing is not designed to be used with

fabric softener dispenser.

Adding Liquid Bleaches

• Before starting the appliance, pour the

measured amount of bleach directly into

the bleach dispenser a. Avoid splashing or

overfilling.

• Mix powdered bleach with water to a liquid

consistency and pour it into the bleach

dispenser.

• Check clothing care label for special

instructions and separate the laundry to be

bleached.

• Dilute liquid chlorine bleach with water.

• Measure the recommended amount of liquid

bleach carefully according to instructions on

the bottle.

CAUTION

• Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly

onto laundry or into the wash basket. This
