How to wash correctly

￿Add detergent

It is important to use the right amount, because . . .

. . . too little detergent results in:

the laundry not getting clean, and turning grey and stiff over time

greasy deposits on the laundry

limescale deposits on the heating element

. . . too much detergent results in:

excessive sudsing, which interferes with proper agitation and leads to poor wash, rinse, and spin results

increased water consumption because of an automatic additional rinse cycle

a burden to the environment

￿Pull out the detergent drawer and fill with product, as follows:

￿

Detergent for the pre-wash (we recommend dividing the total detergent amount as follows: 1/3 in compartment￿ and 2/3 in compartment ￿)

￿

Detergent for the main wash

￿

Fabric softener or liquid starch

￿Close the detergent drawer.

Additional information regarding laundry products and doses can be found in the "Detergent" section.
