3. Add detergent
! Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash when having
activated the “Prewash“ option.
! Do not use liquid detergent when selecting a later cycle start.
Add detergent (and additives/softener) into the relative
compartments as described in section “DETERGENT
DISPENSER“. Observe the dosing recommendations on the
detergent pack.
Correct dosing of detergent / additives is important, because:
• it optimizes the cleaning result
• it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your
laundry
• it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent
• it protects the washing machine by avoiding
calcication of components
• it respects the environment by avoiding unnecessary
environmental burden
Note: Too much detergent can result in excess foam
formation, which reduces washing eciency. If the washing
machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning,
or prolong the programme duration and increase the water
consumption (see also remarks on foam formation in the
“TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE“). Insucient detergent may
result in grey laundry and also calcies the heating system,
drum and hoses.
Using starch powder
• Wash your laundry in the desired wash programme.
• Prepare the starch solution according to the starch
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Fill the prepared starch solution (maximum 100 ml)
