• To use the correct quantity of detergent,
refer to the quantity suggested by the
detergent producer and check the water
hardness of you domestic system. Refer
to 'Water hardness'.
• Set the maximum possible spin speed
for the selected washing programme
before drying your laundry in a tumble
dryer. This will save energy during drying!
12.5 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a
water softener for washing machines. In
areas where the water hardness is soft it is
not necessary to use a water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of water softener.

clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you may find in
