Adding detergent

Detergent

All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable, including liquid, compact (concentrated), tablets and special application detergents.

Woollens and knitwear containing wool mixtures and hand-washable garments should be washed using a detergent specifically designed for washing woollens.

Instructions for use and recommended amounts for a full load are given on the detergent packaging.

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

–The soiling level of the laundry.

Lightly soiled

No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight body odour.

Normally soiled

Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains.

Heavily soiled

Stains and soiling clearly visible.

–The quantity of laundry

–The water hardness level in the area If you do not know the hardness level contact your local water authority who will be able to advise you.

Water hardness

Hardness	Water	mmol/l	German
range	hardness		scale
	level		°d
I	soft	0 - 1.3	0 - 7
II	medium	1.3 - 2.5	7 - 14
III	hard to	above 2.5	above 14
	very hard

Water softener

A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in water hardness ranges II - III. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.

Use a quantity of detergent as for soft water.

Washing with several components

If you wash using several components (e.g. special application detergents), we recommend always dispensing the agents into compartment j in the following order:

1.Detergent

2.Water softener

3.Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed more evenly.
