4. Adding detergent

Tips for dispensing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level
of soiling of the laundry and the
maximum load. Reduce the amount of
detergent with smaller loads (e.g.
reduce the amount of detergent by ⅓
when washing a half load).
Too little detergent:
– The laundry is not cleaned properly
and may become grey and hard to
the touch over time.
– Can lead to a build-up of mold in the
washing machine.
– Grease is not completely removed
from the laundry.
– Can lead to limescale deposits on the
heater elements.
Too much detergent
– Poor wash, rinse, and spin results.
– Causes higher water consumption as
an extra rinse cycle is automatically
activated.
– A greater burden on the environment.

Dispensing aids

Use dispensing aids (e.g. balls) if these
are supplied with the detergent,
particularly when using liquid detergent.
