• Always fill in detergent and fabric con-
ditioner before the starting the wash
programme.
A
Never open the detergent dispensing
drawer while the wash programme is
still running!

Proportioning aids

By means of detergent bags or proportion-
ing balls the washing detergent can be
placed directly in the drum.
3 Of course this will only work for pro-
grammes without pre-wash.

Liquid detergents

When using liquid or gel-like detergents,
please note the following:
• Do not use liquid detergent if you
wish to use the delay-timer function.
• Use liquid detergent only for the
main-wash cycle, not for pre-wash.
A
Risk of stains when using liquid deter-
gent with the delay-timer function or
with pre-wash.
• Use the detergent maker's proportion-
ing cup and observe the information
given on the packing.

Choice of washing detergent

The type of detergent used depends on
the type of textile, colour, degree of soiling
and desired washing temperature.
• Use regular detergent for cottons (60
– 95 °C), otherwise use special deter-
gent for coloured and delicate wash.
• Wash woollens only with a special de-
tergent for woollens.
• Modular system washing detergents
allow for an individual addition of
bleaching agent and softener.
• Use only washing detergents suitable
for use in washing machines.

Detergent proportioning

The amount of detergent required de-
pends on the laundry quantity, degree of
soiling and water hardness.
3
Check with your local water board for
the water hardness in your area.
Water hardness levels
1 soft
2 medium
3 hard
4 very hard
• It is absolutely necessary you propor-
tion as recommended on the packing!
• For small amounts of laundry or only
slight soiling use accordingly less de-
tergent.
A
Proportion the highly concentrated
compact detergents very accurately!
Too much washing detergent causes:
heavy foaming, poor wash and rinsing
results, high burden on water.
Too little washing detergent causes:
the laundry to look grey, lime deposits
in the appliance.

Fabric softener

Fabric softener is filled in the compart-
ment III of the detergent dispensing draw-
er.
• Proportion as recommended on the
packing!
• Fill only up to the red max. mark.
• Dilute viscous fabric softeners with
water before filling in.
3 If you dry your laundry in a dryer or
outdoors, you do not need a fabric
softener.

Starch

• Fill liquid starch and finishing agent
same as fabric softener (see above) in
compartment III.
• Mix powdered starch as instructed on
the packing and fill in compartment II.
3 Never use fabric softener and starch
together in the same washing cycle.
• Wipe drum after starching.
