26Preparing the wash cycle

powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and woollens,

liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment

marked before starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

you are washing a small load,

the laundry is lightly soiled,

large amounts of foam form during washing.

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.

Note: A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree of hardness (from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft).
