Preparation Using liquid detergents If the product contains a liquid detergent cup: • Make sure that you have placed the liquid detergent cup in compartment nr. "2". • If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting in the detergent cup. If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup: • Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash. • Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with Delayed Start function. If you are going to use the Delayed Start function, do not use liquid detergent. Using gel and tablet detergent Apply the following instructions when using tablet, gel and similar detergents. • If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine does not contain a special liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your machine contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme. • If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before washing. • Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. "2") or directly into the drum before washing. C Tablet detergents may leave residues in the detergent compartment. If you encounter such a case, place the tablet detergent between the laundry, close to the lower part of the drum in future washings. C Use the tablet or gel detergent without selecting the prewash function. Using starch • Add liquid starch, powder starch or the fabric dye into the softener compartment. • Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle. • Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp and clean cloth after using starch. Using bleaches • Select a programme with prewash and add the bleaching agent at the beginning of the prewash. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application, select a programme with extra rinse and add the bleaching agent while the machine is taking water from the detergent compartment during first rinsing step. • Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by mixing them. • Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very well as it causes skin irritation. Do not pour the bleaching agent onto the clothes and do not use it for coloured clothes. • When using oxygen based bleaches, select a programme that washes at a lower temperature. • Oxygen based bleaches can be used together with detergents; however, if its thickness is not the same with the detergent, put the detergent first into the compartment nr. "2" in the detergent drawer and wait until the detergent flows while the machine is taking in water. Add the bleaching agent from the same compartment while the machine is still taking in water. Using limescale remover • When required, use limescale removers manufactured specifically for washing machines only. Washing Machine / User's Manual 17 / 36 EN
