Detergent

Only use laundry detergent formulated for front loading washing machines.

For wool and wool blend fabrics use a detergent formulated for wools.

Follow instructions on the detergent packaging for the correct use and amount of detergent.

The amount of detergent used depends on the level of soiling:

Light soiling

No soiling or stains are visible.

Normal soiling

Some visible soiling or a few light stains.

Heavy soiling

Very visible soiling or stains.

The size of the load and the water hardness level in your area have an impact on the amount of detergent necessary to obtain optimum wash results. If you do not know the water hardness level in your area, contact your local water authority.

Water softener

If the water hardness level is between II and III, you can soften the water to reduce detergent consumption.

The detergent packaging should indicate the correct amount to use in your machine. Add the detergent, then add the water softener. From then on you can then use the recommended amount of detergent for water hardness level I.
