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. In these cases you must choose a programme without pre-wash. Pour the liquid detergent into the detergent compartment immediately before you start the programme.

Fabric conditioner is particularly useful if the load will later be dried in a tumble dryer, as it counteracts static electricity. Follow the manufacturer's dosage instructions.
