If you prefer liquid detergent, please use the measuring cups supplied by detergent manufacturers. Add the detergent in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. When using liquid softener, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Adding liquid detergent 50 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. Adding liquid additives 51 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. Programme selector The programme selector contains settings for main and additional programmes (refer to the list of programmes). Switching on and off To switch on: press the ON/OFF button To switch off: press the ON/OFF button again Temperature selector The temperature selector can be infinitely varied to all necessary temperatures. 52 During the programme, the dial of the programme selector rotates in steps and indicates which part of the programme is running. The programme indicator By combining main and additional programmes with the buttons, a programme for all needs can be obtained. Push Buttons 53 SOAKING For wool and wash and wear programmes, the "SOAKING" button enables a soaking of the wash at 40° or a lower temperature (set using the temperature selector). The soaking programme ends with a rinse hold. To continue the programme, press the soaking button again. After a spin cycle, washing begins automatically. This feature provides a quick wash cycle for lightly soiled articles. You may reduce spin dry speed with this button. If you do not press this button, spinning takes place at maximum speed. For synthetics, delicate and wool programmes, spin speed is automatically limited to 850 r. p. m. For high temperature/colour washes Instead of the normal spin cycle, a VARIOMATIC spin cycle is carried out. Spinning takes place in a number of stages and the clothes are separated between each stage and at the end.
