| • 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 (SANS REPASSAGE), only half the amount of detergent recommended for a full load.
Refer to the detergent/care 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.
