temperature settings according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.
Refer to the following table for information on which detergents are suitable for which textiles. Select a

15.1. The fi rst wash cycle
Before using the machine for the first time, run a wash programme at high temperature (90°C) without laun-
dry items and detergent to self-clean the washing machine:
Connect the washing machine to the power supply and turn on the stopcock.
Set the programme selector (2) to the Cotton 90 °C programme.
Press the Start/Pause button (12).
15.2. Detergents and fi nishing agents
Follow the instructions of the manufacturers of fabric softeners and finishing agents.
Pour the detergent for the pre-wash cycle into compartment I (21).
Pour the detergent for the main wash cycle into compartment II (19).
When using modular detergents, you have three components:
− concentrated basic detergent
− softener
− bleach.
Combine the components as they are needed in the respective wash cycle for an environmentally friendly
wash. You only need to add softener if the water is hard, while bleach is usually only used for heavy stains
or white laundry.
For liquid detergent, insert the liquid detergent insert in compartment II (19). Make sure that the insert fits
into the guide nose of compartment II (19).
Pour liquid detergent into the front chamber II separated from the liquid detergent insert (18). The liquid
detergent insert prevents the liquid detergent from immediately flowing away. Note the dosage markings
100/150/200.
We recommend using liquid detergent for the wash programme at low temperatures.
Pour the fabric softener into the middle chamber (20) of the compartment marked with the symbol.
Fabric softener is automatically added during the last rinse cycle.
