Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener
compartment of the detergent drawer.
•
•
•
Use the dosages recommended on the
package.
Do not exceed the (>max<) level
marking in the softener compartment.
If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute
it with water before putting it in the
detergent drawer.
•
•
In a programme with prewash, do not
put liquid detergent into the prewash
compartment (compartment nr. 1).
Do not select a programme with
prewash if you are using a detergent
bag or dispensing ball. Place the
detergent bag or the dispensing ball
directly among the laundry in the
machine.
If you are using liquid detergent, do
not forget to place the liquid detergent
cup into the main wash compartment
(compartment nr. 2).
Using liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid
detergent cup:

•
Using bleaches
•
If the product does not contain a liquid
detergent cup:
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.
•
Do not use liquid detergent for the

into the compartment nr. “II” 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.
•
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.

Using limescale remover
•
Put tablet detergents into the main
wash compartment (compartment
nr. II) or directly into the drum before
washing.

Cleaning the water intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water
intake valve at the rear of the machine
and also at the end of each water intake
hose where they are connected to the tap.
These filters prevent foreign substances
and dirt in the water to enter the washing
machine. Filters should be cleaned as they
do get dirty.
In order to clean the dirty filter and
discharge the water:
1. Unplug the machine to cut off the
supply power.
Temperature of the water inside the
A
machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid
burning risk, filter must be cleaned after
the water in the machine cools down.
2. Open the filter cap.
If the filter cap is composed of two
pieces, press the tab on the filter cap
downwards and pull the piece out
towards yourself.
1. Close the taps.
2. Remove the nuts of the water intake
hoses to access the filters on the water
intake valves. Clean them with an
appropriate brush. If the filters are too
dirty, take them out by means of pliers
and clean them.
If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap
from both sides at the top to open.
3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of
the water intake hoses together with
the gaskets and clean thoroughly under
running water.

Follow the steps below to discharge
the water.
The filter system in your machine prevents
solid items such as buttons, coins and
fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller
during discharge of washing water. Thus,
the water will be discharged without any
problem and the service life of the pump
will extend.
If the machine fails to drain water, the
