Detergent

z Add detergent, etc. before pressing “Start/Pause”. z Read instructions on the packet of detergent or other agent, for correct

quantity depending on the amount of laundry, degree of soiling, and water

hardness.

Detergent, water softener, bleach, stain remover

z When using a tub cleaning detergent, also put it in this

compartment. ( P. 30)

Fabric softener, laundry starch

It’s automatically added to laundry during nal rinsing.

zAmount not above

“MAX” (95 ml) line

Detergent for prewashing

When using “Prewash” function (P. 27)

Detergent drawer

CAUTION

Do not operate this appliance with detergent drawer detached.

It will leak water.

Detergent

Use a low foam detergent. When using a detergent made for temperatures below 20 °C (as low as 15 °C), we recommend the “20 °C Wash” programme.

z To prevent powdered detergent

from remaining in detergent drawer:

• Dry inside the detergent drawer

with a cloth.

• Break up lumps in powdered

detergent.

If powder still remains in drawer, put it directly in drum instead.

z

If you forget to add detergent before starting a wash: Select using “Mode” (P. 26) to drain the water, then start again.

NOTE

z Do not put detergent in the

detergent drawer, if the instructions on the package advise that it should be put directly in the drum.

The detergent may not ow freely,

and some may remain in the

drawer, causing water to overow

from the drawer.

 Prewashing

z You need separate detergent for

prewash and main wash.

z Use powdered detergent for main

wash. Liquid detergent washes

away in prewash.

Water softening agent

If you live in a hard water area (1.3 mmol/L hardness or more), we recommend using a water softening agent. This reduces the detergent

required, and prevents limescale,

which damages the appliance.

NOTE

z For information on water hardness,

contact a specialist near you.

Fabric softener

Prevents laundry static.

z

If any softener remains in detergent drawer after operation, dilute the softener with water before pouring into the drawer. (do not exceed the max amount) Softener left in drawer: You can wipe it with a wet cloth.

Fabric softener

Water

Laundry starch

z If it is hard to pour starch into the

detergent drawer

Dilute the starch with water before pouring into the drawer. (do not exceed the max amount)

z After using laundry starch

1 Clean detergent drawer.

(P. 30)

2 Run the “Rapid 15” programme

(P. 19) without detergent to remove excess starch in drum.
