How to wash correctly

￿Add detergent

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

. . . too little detergent results in:

–Laundry not getting properly clean 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 (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in).

–A burden to the environment.

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

￿

Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the total recommended amount as follows: add 1/3 to compartment ￿ and 2/3 to compartment ￿)

￿

Detergent for the main wash

￿

Fabric conditioner or liquid starch

￿Close the detergent drawer.

See "Detergent" for further information.
