Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
GB Successful washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.
!Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.
!Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre- washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
!Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
Special wash cycles
Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 6.
Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various fabrics and colours. It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and minimises the formation of creases.
