DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

Choice of the right detergent and additives

The type of detergent depends on:

•

type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,

delicate items, wool).

Note:

use only specific detergents for wool.

•

colour;

•

washing temperature;

•

degree and type of soiling.

Notes:

Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by

insoluble detergents components used in modern

phosphate-free powder detergents.

If you notice this problem, shake or brush the

affected items or use a liquid detergent.

Keep detergents and additives in a dry place and

out of reach of children.

Use only detergents and additives specifically

produced for domestic washing machines.

If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches,

make sure they are suitable for washing machine

use. Descaler could contain components that can

attack parts of your washing machine.

Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc.).

Do not machine wash fabrics that have been

treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

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 foam

formation, and the reduction of washing

efficiency. If the appliance detects excessive foam

it may prevent spinning.

Insufficient detergent may result in: grey laundry,

deposits on the drum, tub and heater.

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

“MAX”

level

mark.

To prevent dispensing problems when using highly

concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use

the special detergent ball or bag supplied with the

detergent and place it inside the drum.
