Running a wash cycle
Opening the door/Loading the washing
1. To open the door: pull the handle on the door.
2. Unfold washing and load it loosely
into the machine. Mix large and
small items.
Attention! Do not get any washing
caught between the door and the
rubber seal.
3. Push the door firmly shut. Door
catch must audibly click shut.
Adding detergent/conditioner
Important: Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use
in household washing machines.
Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/condi-
tioner manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packag-
ing.
The amount of detergent used depends on:
– the degree of soiling,
– the load size
– the hardness of the tap water.
• If the manufacturer does not make any recommendations with re-
gard to small volumes of washing: For a half-load use a third less, and
for a very small load use only the half the amount of detergent that
is recommended for a full load.
• Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi-
um). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for
hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you
with information about water hardness in your area.
1. Pull out the detergent drawer as far as it will go.
2. Add the detergent/conditioner.
3. Push the detergent drawer in fully.
