Warning

AVOID RISK OF POISONING KEEPING DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN !

We suggest you to measure out the quantity of detergent (powder or liquid) according to:

The water hardness. This piece of information you will get it from your local water authority.

The quantity of laundry.

The degree of soiling (see Programs on page 12).

The specifications of the detergent manufacturer.

Measuring the correct amount of detergent ensures optimum washing results and conributes to

get a better environment.

We recommend HE (high Efficiency) detergents because they are particularly designed to deliver optimum performance from your front-loading washer. Not using HE detergent could cause problems such as oversudsing (mess on your floor) and/or a decrease in wash performances.

Too little detergent:

The laundry is not cleaned properly and will eventually become gray and stiff. Grayish brown spots (fat globules) may appear on the laundry. The heater may calcify.

Fabric softener

All fabrics, particularly towels, benefit from the use of fabric conditioners in the final rinse. Items of laundry feel softer, are more easily ironed and the clinging affect of synthetics is considerably reduced.

Pour the softener into “Additives” compartment of the detergent dispenser to the level indicated on the syphon. Under no circumstances overfill, as the softener will immediately syphon into the machine and in so doing, impair the wash results.

Too much detergent:

Not environmentally friendly, excessive suds reduce wash agitation producing poor washing, poor rinsing results or may prevent proper spinning.

Adjust the amount for heavily or lightly soiled loads. Use more if water is extremely hard, use less in soft water. If garments have been pretreated, you will not need as much (or any) detergent at all.
