Operating Instructions

Detergent and Conditioners

	Which detergent and conditioners?
	Only use detergents and conditioners that are suitable for use in wash-
	ing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
	Quantities of detergent and conditioners?
	The quantity to be used will depend on:
	• degree of soiling of the washing
	• degree of hardness of the water supply
	• load
2	If the manufacturer does not indicate the amounts to use for smaller
	loads, for half-loads use a third less than the amount recommended for

a full load, and for smaller loads and EASY IRON use half the amount recommended for a full load.

Please follow the detergent and conditioner manufacturers’ instruc- tions for use and dosing recommendations.

Water softening

For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards) a water softening agent can be used. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Then always add the appropriate amount of detergent (underdosing) for hardness class I (soft). Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
