Operating Instructions
Detergents and care agents
Which detergent and care agent?
Use only detergents and care agents which are suitable for use in wash-
ing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
How much detergent and care agent?
The required quantity depends upon:
• extent of soiling of the washing
• on the hardness class of the mains water
• the amount of washing
If the detergent manufacturer does not give any metering quantities
2
for small loads, add a third less for half a load or only half the amount
of detergent for small loads for < (EASY IRON) which is recommen-
ded for a full load.
Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent
and conditioner manufacturer.
Water softener
For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards), you
should use softener. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Then al-
ways add the appropriate amount of detergent for hardness class I
(= soft). The responisable water works will provide information on the
local water hardness.
Since the water softener is rinsed in before the main detergent (water
2
pre-softening), 80% of the stated quantity of softener shown on the
package is sufficient.
