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 |
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.
