How much detergent and fabric
softener?
The amount to be used depends on:
the load:
if the detergent manufacturer does not make any
specification for small loads, use a third less for half
loads, and for very small loads only use half of the
amount of washing powder recommended for a full
load.
the degree of soiling of the washing:
for only lightly soiled washing use less washing
powder. Follow the instructions of the detergent
manufacturer.
the water hardness:
the harder the water, the higher the dosage!
Using a water softening agent
In hard water areas, the use of a water softening agent
can reduce the amount of detergent necessary. See
manufacturers recommendations.
Which detergent to use?....
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your
appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in
your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended
for use in front loading automatic machines.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and
household textiles and to make them last longer you
should use different types of detergent for different
washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.
And in which form?
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they
are also available in different forms. Whether you
choose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact
form is down to personal choice.
Traditional Powders
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do
not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.
Traditional Liquids
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of
the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start
the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in
the dispenser drawer.
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the
specially designed dosing device which should be
placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.
Compact Powders and Liquids
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also
known) are available in liquid or powder form, and
generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most
economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the
dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent
into the specially designed dosing device which should
be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.
Fabric Conditioners
These are ideal for improving “softness”, and also
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing
easier.
The liquid fabric softener should be poured into the
compartment marked with the symbol .
Follow the manufacturer’s dosage instructions and never
exceed the MAX level.
