Preparing the wash cycle

Detergents and additives

Which detergent and additive?

Use only detergents and additives for washing machines. Follow the

manufacturer's instructions.

How much detergent?

The quantity depends on:

• the load:

if the manufacturer does not provide any indications on the amount of

detergent for small loads, use about one third less than the suggested

amount for half loads and half the amount for very small loads;

• the degree of soil:

use a small amount of detergent for lightly soiled garments. Judge

the amount according to the detergent manufacturer's instructions

and size of the load;

• the water hardness:

the harder the water, the more detergent required. Instructions

according to water hardness are given on the detergent pack.

Liquid detergent

Liquid detergent can be poured directly into the main wash compartment

of the dispenser drawer immediately before starting the programme, or

a special dispenser can be used that is placed directly in the drum. Mea-

sure the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Adding a water softener (descaling product)

A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree

of hardness (from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer's

instructions. The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to

degree of hardness I (= soft). Information on water hardness can be

obtained from your local water supply authority.
