STUBBORN STAINS
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available.
Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

specially made for washing machines.

more than the correct quantity of detergent.

on the on packaging of these products.

soil.
• If you use liquid detergents, do not
set the prewash phase.
• If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device,
add the liquid detergents with a dosing ball.
WATER HARDNESS
If the water hardness in your area is
high or moderate, we recommend that
you use a water softener for washing
machines. In areas where the water
hardness is soft it is not necessary to
use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on
the packaging of the products.
Equivalent scales measure the water
hardness:
• German degrees (°dH).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - international unit for the hardness of water).
• Clarke degrees.

After each wash, keep the door open
for a while to prevent mould and to let
unpleasant smells go out.
