Choice of detergent

Manufacturers always mark maximum detergent quantities to be used on their detergent packages, depending on the amount of washing.

Comply with doses and instructions specified on packages.

Proportioning

The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the amount of washing to be washed, the hardness of the water and how dirty your washing is.

Reduce doses slightly if the water is soft. Increase doses slightly if the water is hard, or if the washing is very dirty or stained.

You can determine the degree of hardness of your water by asking the water distribution utility in your region or any other competent authority.

Note: Only use low foam detergents sold in the shops specially for use in washing machines. Use neutral products for washing woolens.

If you use liquid detergents, put the proportioning ball directly in the drum and choose a program without pre-wash. If you dry your washing in a drier, do not forget to take out the proportioning ball. You can also add liquid detergent for your washing into the drum directly, provided that you do not do a pre-wash and you start your washing machine immediately.

Liquid detergents are suitable for low temperatures (namely 30°C and 40°C). It is recommended that a powder detergent should be used for higher temperatures from 60°C to 90°C.

Softener

With this distributor, you can automatically add a liquid softener to your last rinse water. Respect the proportions shown on the flask, depending on the nature of the softener used (normal or concentrated).

Do not exceed the maximum softener quantity (80 ml) specified for the product box. An overflow orifice under the softener display window will inform you if you add too much.

It is recommended that you should add a softener product while washing to facilitate drying and make your washing softer. It can also help to eliminate static electricity.
