20 PREPARATION
Loading the dispenser
The detergent dispenser drawer of the washing machine has
a dispenser compartment for each detergent type. Add the
appropriate detergents into its respective compartments.
1 Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.
2 Add the appropriate detergent to its allocated
compartment.
- If you use a liquid detergent, check if the liquid
detergent cup is in place.
- If you use a powdered detergent, remove the liquid
detergent cup and put the powder in the main wash
detergent compartment.

3 Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowly.

the detergent overflowing into another compartment or
pouring into the tub earlier than programmed.

It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in y
the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.
Using detergent/fabric softener
Recommended detergent
Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent for front-
loading washing machines. HE detergents dissolve more
efficiently and produce fewer suds to ensure efficient
washing and rinsing. Use the correct amount of detergent as
indicated on the label of the detergent packaging.
Designed specially to use only
HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
NOTE
Only use HE detergents, since using a regular y
detergent may produce excessive suds.
HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more
y
efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance,
and help to keep the interior of your washer clean.
Use less detergent for soft water.
y
Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids could y
damage the finish and the control panel of the washing
machine.
Using too much detergent can cause a build-up in
y
the tub resulting in unsatisfactory performance and
machine malfunction.
If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a
y
detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue on
the tub, which may not rinse properly.
