Adding detergent /conditioner

Important: Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in household washing machines.

Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/condition- er manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packaging. The amount of detergent used depends on:

–the degree of soiling,

–the load size

–the hardness of the tap water.

•If the manufacturer does not make any recommendations with regard to small volumes of washing: For a half-load use a third less, and for a very small load use only the half the amount of detergent that is rec- ommended for a full load.

•Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi- um). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you with information about water hardness in your area.
