Water softening agent

You can soften water in hard water areas by adding water softener. Always check the packaging for the appropriate amount to use. And always add your water softener after your detergent.

Note

●Foaming varies according to the amount and type of detergent you use, as well as how soiled the laundry is, and the hardness and temperature of the water.

●When opening the door mid-operation, water and foams droplets may fall from the door and the door hole.

In this case, you may require a towel to be used to catch any of them if necessary.
