Operating Instructions

Washing Detergents and Care Agents

 

Which detergent and care agent?

 

Use only detergents and care agents which are suitable for use in wash-

 

ing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

 

How much 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 quantity of washing

2

If the detergent manufacturer does not include dosing instructions for

 

reduced loads, use one third less for half loads and only half of the full

load detergent quantity for very small loads.

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

Water softener

For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards), you should use softener. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Then al- ways add the appropriate amount of detergent for hardness class I (= soft). The responisable water works will provide information on the local water hardness.

2

Since the water softener is rinsed in before the main detergent (water

 

pre-softening), 80% of the stated quantity of softener shown on the

 

package is sufficient.
