The loading door is locked while a programme is
running. The door can only be opened a while after the
programme comes to an end.
In case of misplacing the laundry, noise and vibration
problems may occur in the machine.

amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness.

Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the
detergent drawer.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking in the softener
compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity,dilute it with water before
putting it in the detergent drawer.
Using liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:

• If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity,dilute it with
water before putting in the detergent cup.
If the product is equipped with a liquid
detergent part:
• When you want to use liquid detergent, pull the apparatus
towards yourself. The part that falls down will serve as a
barrier for the liquid detergent. If required, clean the
apparatus with water when it is in place or by removing it.
If you will use powder detergent, the apparatus must be
secured at top position.
