Detergent and Conditioners

 

Which detergent and conditioners?

 

Only use detergents and conditioners that are suitable for use in wash-

 

ing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

 

Quantities of detergent and conditioners?

 

The quantity to be used will depend on:

 

• degree of soiling of the washing

 

• degree of hardness of the water supply

 

• load

2

If the manufacturer does not indicate the amounts to use for smaller

 

loads, for half-loads use a third less than the amount recommended for

a full load, and for smaller loads and EASY IRON use half the amount recommended for a full load.

Please follow the detergent and conditioner manufacturers’ instruc- tions for use and dosing recommendations.

Water softening

For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards) a water softening agent can be used. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Then always add the appropriate amount of detergent (underdosing) for hardness class I (soft). Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
