Instructions for use

Detergent and Conditioners

Which detergent and conditioner?

Use only detergents and conditioners which are suitable for use in au- tomatic washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instruc- tions.

	How much detergent and conditioner?
	The quantity required depends upon:
	• the extent to which the washing is soiled
	• the degree of hardness of the mains water
	• the amount of washing
2	Should the detergent manufacturer not specify the dosage quantity for
	less than full loads, reduce the detergent accordingly: for a half load

reduce the quantity by one third; for a small load or EASY IRON (FACILE A REPASSER/STRIJKVRIJ) reduce the quantity by one half. Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent and conditioner manufacturer.

Water Softener

For medium to high water hardness (hardness category II or higher) you should use water softener. Pay attention to the manufacturer's instruc- tions. Always then meter detergent for hardness category I (= soft). The responsible water works can provide information on the local water hardness.

2	Since the water softener is added before the main washing detergent,
	(water pre-softening), eighty percent of the softener quantity stated on
	the package is sufficient.
