Fit the liquid detergent level plate (included with the accessories) into the detergent compartment and use it as a mark to set the amount of liquid detergent. Make sure to detach the plate before running the programme.

Note

Leaving the liquid detergent level plate in the detergent drawer while the programme is running may result in water leakage, or diminished washing and spinning performance.

For the Wool programme, use mild liquid detergent.

Powdered detergent2.

Detergent reaches the drum only when water flushes through the detergent drawer. Thus, if you have forgotten to add detergent, run the Drain programme.

Then, add detergent and start washing again.

To prevent powdered detergent from remaining in the drawer, perform the following:

Dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth. - Make sure that the detergent is not - lumpy when you add it because this may cause a blockage over time.

16 - Read Before Using

Amount of Detergent

The amount of detergent you should use depends on the following factors:

How soiled the laundry is -

Amount of the laundry -

Water hardness -

The amount of foam varies according to the amount and type of detergent, how soiled the laundry is, and the hardness and temperature of the water.

Water softening agent

If you live in a hard water area, we recommend using a water softening agent. For more details on water hardness, contact your local water authority.

Use of a water softening agent can help reduce the amount of detergent required for each wash and help prevent the formation of limescale deposits, which may damage the appliance.

Fabric softener -

Laundry starch -

Fabric Softener

To prevent static, add softener before you start washing. It will be automatically added in the final rinse cycle.

34 - Maintenance

Problem Cause
Washing machine	Buttons do not work.	The programme, temperature, spin speed, preset time, -Extra Rinse, Easy Iron or Speed/Eco function settings cannot be changed while washing is in progress.Child lock may be activated. (P.30) -
	Door does not open.	Door lock may be activated. (P.19) -The water temperature or level may be too high. -(P.19)
	Unusual odour Rubber	parts may give off a smell when you start using -the appliance, but the smell will go away over time.You can wash the drum by running the 90 °C programme.(P.32)
Wash	No water going into the appliance.	The water tap may be turned off. -The water supply hose may be frozen. (P.34) -The water supply may be disrupted. -The water supply filter may be clogged. (P.33)
	There is only a small amount of water.	If you have paused the washing and then restart it, the appliance may drain out some water.Do NOT pour water in through the door.
	Water builds up during the wash process.	This is normal; water is automatically supplied if the amount of water has decreased. For heavy loads, the water may fill up repeatedly.
Rinse/Spin	No water flows into the appliance during the rinse process.	Before rinsing, the appliance spins to drain out remaining water. The water will fill up after that.
	Rinsing begins before the spin process finishes.	After washing, excess foam may remain, so the water is drained out and refilled to wash it away. This feature is called foam detection.
	During spin-dry, the drum stops and rotates several times.	This is normal; the appliance has detected that the load is not balanced and is trying to re-distribute the clothes within the drum to correct it.
	Foam and water remain in the door or door seal.	Although some foam and water may remain depending upon the state of the laundry and the amount of detergent used, rinse performance is unaffected.
	The spin process repeatedly starts and stops.	This is normal; intermittent spinning of the tub helps the spin process to operate quietly.The laundry may be too light. If so, add one or two bath towels.
	The laundry is still wet after the spin process finishes.	The unit detected an out of balance load but was not able to correct it automatically.If the laundry is too light, add one or two bath towels.If the laundry gets tangled up, untangle it.
