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.
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.
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 bleach onto the laundry and do not use it with the colored
items.
 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. While
the machine continues taking in water, add decolorant in the same compartment.
