-Apply laundry detergent and softener to detergent compartments as shown in the table above. Always check the dosing instructions of the detergent you are using! Usually smaller amount of detergent is sufficient, if the laundry is not very dirty. Pre-treating stains with detergent improves the washing result. The detergent compartment cover is on top of the machine. Compartment works best with powdered laundry detergent. It is recommended to use liquid laundry detergent and a dosing ball, because liquid dissolves better in the wash, leaving fewer detergent residues on the machine.

 The tumble dryer is equipped with two lint filters, which must always be carefully cleaned before and after use. The lint filter located at the bottom of the filling hatch can be easily cleaned when the hatch is open. The separate filter unit is cleaned by pulling the filter out and wiping the lint out of the filter. The dryer will not start if the filter is not properly seated.
