WARNING
TO AVOID RISK OF POISONING!
Keep detergents and additives out
of the reach of children.
Measure out the detergent (powder or
liquid) according to:
- The water hardness. This
information can be obtained from
your local water authority. Soft
water requires less detergent.
- The amount of laundry.
- The degree of soiling. Information
on soiling can be found on Page
19.
- The specifications of the detergent
manufacturer. Measuring the
correct amount of detergent
reduces the strain on the
environment and ensures optimum
washing results.
Too little detergent:
The laundry is not cleaned properly and
will eventually become gray and stiff.
Grayish brown spots may appear on
the laundry. The heater may calcify.
Too much detergent:
Excessive suds reduce wash agitation
producing poor washing and rinsing
results and may prevent proper
spinning.

We recommend HE detergents
because they are designed to
achieve optimum performance
with your front-loading washer.
Not using HE detergent could
cause problems such as
oversudsing, extended cycle
periods, or a decrease in wash
performance.
Look for the HE logo (pictured
below) on the front of your
detergent product.
