DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

The choice of detergent depends on:



type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,

delicate items, wool).

Note:

Use only specific detergents for washing

wool



colour



the wash temperature



degree and type of soiling

Remarks:

Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by

insoluble compounds used in modern phosphate-

free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or

brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents.

Use only detergents and additives specifically

produced for domestic washing machines.

When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches for

the pre-wash, make sure that they are suitable for

use in domestic washing machines. Descaler could

contain components which can attack parts of your

washing machine

Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine).

Do not wash fabrics in the machine which have

been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

Dosage

Follow the dosage recommendations on the

detergent pack. They depend on:



degree and type of soiling



size of wash

full load follow the detergent manufacturers

instructions;

half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;

Minimum load (about 1 kg):

1/2 the amount used for a full load



water hardness in your area (request information

from the water company). Soft water requires

less detergent than hard water (refer to water

hardness table)

Notes:

Too much detergent can result in excess foam

formation.

The cleaning effect deteriorates.

If the washing machine detects too much foam, it

may prevent spinning.

Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in

time and also calcifies the heating system, drum and

hoses.

If the machine has a three chamber detergent dispenser, you can set the water hardness level of your

household supply (1 to 4) by means of the coloured pointer

(A)

. To do this, move the slider on the

bottom of the dispenser to the desired position.
