amount.

•If too much detergent is used, too many suds

can occur and this will result in poor washing

results.

•If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow

the guidelines provided by the detergent

manufacturer.

•You can pour liquid detergent directly into the

main detergent drawer if you are starting the

wash cycle immediately.

•Do not use liquid detergent if you are using

Delay End function, or if you have selected

Pre Wash option, as the liquid may harden.

•Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for

water temperature, water hardness, size and

soil level of the load. For best results, avoid

oversudsing.

•Refer to the label of the clothes, before choosing

the detergent and water temperature.

•Use only suitable detergents for the respective

type of clothing:

−Liquid detergent is often designed for special

applications, e.g. for coloured fabric, wool,

delicate or dark laundry.

−Powdered detergent is suitable for all types

of fabric.

−For better washing results of white and pale

garments, use powdered detergent with

bleach.

−Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the

beginning of the wash cycle.

NOTE

•Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may

lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or

odour.

•Full load: According to manufacturer’s

recommendation

•Part load: ¾ of the normal amount

•Minimum load: ½ of full load

Adding Detergent

•Detergent for main wash a only ~ J

•Detergent for pre wash b and main wash a ~

prevent discolouration.

•Never wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled items.

Wrinkling Appliance is not unloaded promptly.

•Always remove items from the appliance as soon as the cycle is complete.

Appliance is overloaded.

•The appliance can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly

packed with items. The door of the appliance should be closed easily.

•Hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments. Check the inlet hose

connections.

Musty or mildewy

odour in appliance

Inside of drum is not cleaned properly.

•Run the Tub Clean function regularly.

The drain hose is not properly installed, causing siphoning (water

flowing back inside of the appliance).

•When installing the drain hose, make sure that it does not get kinked or

blocked.

The detergent dispenser drawer is not cleaned regularly.

•Clean the detergent dispenser drawer, especially the top and the bottom of

the drawer’s opening.

Odours can occur if the drain hose is not properly installed, causing
