Read instructions on the packet of detergent or other agent, for correct quantity depending on the
amount of laundry, degree of soiling, and water hardness.
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:
Any 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 softener 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 products which could
damage your washing machine.
Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzene). Do not machine wash fabrics that have been
treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
Liquid detergents can be used for programmes with prewash. However, in this case a powder
