Use only good-quality detergents which are intended for use in automatic washing machines. To determ how much to use, follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations, taking into account the size of the wash load, the degree of soiling and the hardness of your water supply. If you live in an area with hard water, see the section "Descaling". If the water hardness level is unknown, your local water company should be able to inform you. This washing machine has a washing system which uses a minimum amount of water in order to make the laundry clean. It is therefore a risk that the detergent will not desolve and residues can be found on the garments after the programme is finished if a dosing device is used. Pre-wash detergent is to be added straight into the drum. Liquid detergent A suitable liquid detergent can be used instead of powder detergent for programmes with low or medium wash temperatures. Pour the liquid detergent into the detergent compartment immediately before you start the programme. Fabric conditioner If you are using fabric conditioner, pour it into the righthand compartment of the detergent dispenser. Fabric conditioner is particularly useful if the load will later be dried in a tumble dryer, as it counteracts static electricity. Never fill the compartment for fabric conditioner higher than the marked maximum level. Detergent Pour the detergent into the left-hand compartment of the detergent dispenser before the programme is started. Special types of detergents are available for coloureds, delicates and wool. Do not put the detergent manufacturer's dosing device/ball into the drum. Pour the detergent into the detergent compartment instead.
