Using the washer
7. Add detergent
Front loading washing machines require special high efficiency detergents. Closely follow the requirements of the detergent manufacturer.
Use detergent according to the laundry soiling. Use less for smaller loads.
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.
Use the "Heavy soil" function and split the detergent in the Heavy soil compartment as described.
Too little detergent may cause:
–laundry to not be cleaned effectively and become gray and stiff over time.
–grease to not be completely washed from the laundry.
–calcium deposits on the heater.
Too much detergent may cause:
–oversudsing with poor wash, rinse and spin results.
–a higher water usage, because of an extra rinse which is automatically added
–a higher environmental burden.
