DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT
The type of detergent depends o n:
•
type of fabric (cottons, easy care, delicate
items, wool);
Note:
use only specific detergents f or wo ol .
•
colour;
•
washing temperature;
•
degree and type of soiling.
Notes:
•
Whitish residues on dark fabrics are ca used
by insoluble water softeners used i n mod ern
phosphate-free powder detergents.
If you notice this problem, sha ke or b rush t he
affected items or use a liquid d et ergent .
•
Keep detergents and additiv es in a d ry p l a ce
and out of reach of children.
•
Use only detergents and addi tives specificall y
produced for domestic appliances.
If you use water softeners, de sc aling agents
and dyes, make sure they are suitable f or

WATER HARDNESS
DOSAGE
Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in
relation to:
•
the degree and type of soiling;
•
the size of the load;
-
full load: follow the detergent
manufacturer’s instructions;
-
half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;
-
minimum load (about 1 kg): half the
amount used for a full load;
•
water hardness in your area (ask for information
from your water company): soft water requires
less detergent than hard water.
Notes:
•
Too much detergent can result in excess fo am
formation, which reduces washing eff ici en cy.
If the appliance detects exces sive foam it may
prevent spinning.
•
The laundry will become grey if you use too little
detergent. Too little detergent will also lead to
increased scale deposits on the heating element
and drum.
