Proportioning aids

By means of detergent bags or proportion-
ing balls the washing detergent can be
placed directly in the drum.

Of course this will only work for pro-
grammes without pre-wash.

Liquid detergent

When using liquid or gel-like washing de-
tergents, 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
When using liquid detergent with the
delay-timer function or for pre-wash,
there is a risk of staining the textiles.
• Use the detergent maker's proportion-
ing cup and follow the directions giv-
en 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
0...1.3 0... 9
1.3...2.5 9...18
2.5...3.8 18...27
> 3.8 > 27

• 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.

Proportion the highly concentrated
compact detergents very accurate!
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-
to compartment III.
• Mix powdered starch as instructed on
the packing and fill into
compartment II.
3 Never use fabric softener and starch
together in the same washing cycle.
• Wipe drum after starching.
