• water hardness in your area (ask for information
from your water company). Soft water requires
less detergent than hard water.
Notes:
Overdosing the detergent results in excessive
foaming and reduces the wash efficiency. If the
appliance detects excessive foam it may prevent
spinning.
Using insufficient detergent results in grey laundry
and increased scale deposits on the drum, tub and
heating element.
You can use liquid detergent in the “Prewash”
phase for programmes with this option. In this
case put only powder detergents in the
compartment for the main wash .
When using concentrated fabric softeners, add
water in the detergent dispenser up to the “MAX”
level mark.
To prevent dispensing problems when using highly
concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use
the special detergent ball supplied with the
detergent and place it inside the drum.

soft water requires less detergent.
