Instructions for use

Washing Detergents and Care Agents

	Which washing detergent and care agent?
	Use only washing detergents and care agents which are suitable for use
	in washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
	How much washing detergent and care agent?
	The amount to be used depends on:
	• the dirtiness of the washing
	• the hardness category of the mains water supply
	• the filling quantity
2	If the detergent manufacturer gives no details of the dosing quantities
	for minimum loads, add one third less for half loads and, in the case of

very small loads and for EASY IRON (STRIJKVRIJ, SANS REPASSAGE), only half the amount of detergent recommended for a full load.

Refer to the detergent/care agent manufacturer's instructions on use and dosage.

Water Softener

For medium to high water hardness (hardness category II or higher) you should use water softener. Pay attention to the manufacturer's instruc- tions. Always then meter detergent for hardness category I (= soft). The responsible water works can provide information on the local water hardness.

2	Since the water softener is added before the main washing detergent,
	(water pre-softening), eighty percent of the softener quantity stated on
	the package is sufficient.
