If you prefer liquid detergent, please use the measuring beakers supplied by detergent manufacturers. Add the detergent in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. When using liquid softener, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Fill the additive compartment only up to the "MAXI" level, otherwise the additive will spill over prematurely and without any effect into the machine. When using thick softener concentrate and starch, it is recommended to top up the compartment to the "MAXI" level with water. If you wish to use starch in powder form, dissolve it according to the maker's recommendations and pour the solution into the compartment. Choose the "fabric softener" programme. Choosing the wash programme The wash programme is chosen with the programme selector, the temperature adjustment knob and the buttons. For normally soiled articles, choose a programme without pre-wash. For dirty articles choose a programme with pre-wash or use the "intensive" button (refer to the button description). For protein based stains (blood, cocoa), we recommend a programme with pre-wash. For heavily stained articles (fruit, vegetables, tea) press the INTENSIVE button.
