Preparing the washing cycle
Washing powders and conditioners
Which washing powder and conditioner?
Only use washing powders and fabric softeners suitable for automatic washing machines. As a general rule follow the instructions of the manufacturers.
How much washing powder and fabric softener?
The amount to be used depends on
•the load:
If the detergent manufacturer does not make any specifications for small loads, use a third less for half loads, and for very small loads only use half of the amount of washing powder recommended for a full load.
•the degree of soiling of the washing:
For only lightly soiled washing use less washing powder. Follow the instructions of the detergent manufacturers and load.
•on the degree of hardness of the tap water:
The harder the water, the higher the dosage! You will find the quantities to use according to water hardness on the detergent packaging.
Liquid detergent
Add liquid detergent using the dispenser provided by the detergent manufacturer. Please follow the instructions on the package.
Using a water softening agent
In areas of hard water, the use of a water softening agent can reduce the amount of detergent necessary. See manufacturers recommendations.
