How to wash correctly

J Adding detergent

It is important to dispense the correct amount, because... . .

. . . too little detergent results in:

–Laundry not being cleaned properly and with time it may become grey and hard to the touch.

–Greasy particles clinging to the laundry.

–Limescale deposits on the heater elements.

. . . too much detergent results in:

–Excessive foam, which causes a low level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results.

–Higher water consumption because an extra rinse is automatically activated.

–A burden to the environment.

Add detergent for the pre-wash to compartment i and to compartment

jfor the main wash. If the capacity of compartment j is not sufficient (e.g. in water hardness area III), some of the main wash detergent can be added to compartment i.

^Pull out the detergent drawer and place detergent in the compartments as follows:

i= Pre-wash

(if selected, 1/4 of the total amount recommended for the programme)

j= Main wash

including the Soak period if selected

p= Fabric conditioner or liquid starch.

See "Detergent" section for further information.
