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 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. Descalers could contain products which could damage your
washing machine. Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine). Do not
machine wash fabrics that 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
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s instru tions for a full load;
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 (ask for information from your water company). Soft water
requires less detergent than hard water.
Note:
Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing
efficiency. 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.
Recommendations on the type of detergents suitable for the various washing temperatures
and washing programmes; A low-bubble detergent is recommended.
