  • Regularly clean the liquid detergent cup and the cap.

Using a liquid detergent

➔ Fill the liquid detergent cup with your detergent but do not exceed the line marked ‘Max’.

If the line is exceeded, your detergent may be fed into the machine prematurely.

➔ Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for the right dose of detergent.

Overuse of detergent may cause excessive bubbles leading to leakage or contamination in the tub.

➔ Scheduled washing is not available in cases where you use a liquid detergent.

Liquid detergents left and hardened in your product may block the feed line.

Note
In case of the product models that provide no cup for liquid detergents, feed the detergent immediately before you start washing.
If you fed and left a detergent, damage to clothing, discoloration may occur.

Using a highly concentrated liquid detergent

➔ Use of highly concentrated liquid detergents with a high viscosity (e.g.: Tide) may leave some of the detergent in the liquid detergent cup.

In this case, dilute the detergent with water before use.
Recommended mix rate for the liquid detergent and water is 1:1 or 2:1.

➔ Detergents left and neglected in your product may block the feed line.

If the feed line is blocked, you may see that the liquid detergent cup is full of water when you open the detergent box.
If the feed line is blocked or a highly concentrated detergent is used, clean the detergent left over after washing by removing the cap from the liquid detergent cup.
