Manual compartment for liquid
Maximum level for detergent/
additives quantity.
The pre-set dosages are 50 ml for
detergent tank and 25 ml for fabric
softener tank: the optimal configuration
to meet majority of use condition.
However, under extreme conditions (very
soft or very hard water) and particular type
of detergent (such as super concentrated),
we recommend to adjust the pre-set
dosage by following the instruction given
on detergent and fabric softener container:
e.g when using super concentrated
detergent you may need to reduce the
pre-set dosage considerably.
If the washing results are not satisfactory
or there is too much foam during washing,
you may need to change this setting.
Check on the detergent product instruction
to identify the right dosage considering
a normal laundry soil level, the actual
water hardness and the additional dosage
suggested for larger load.
1. Identifying the water hardness
level: Hard water can reduce the
effectiveness of the detergent, for
this reason detergent manufacturer
recommend to adjust the dosage
based on water hardness level. Check
the water hardness level in your area.
The levels are generally indicated as:
soft, medium and hard. If necessary,
please contact your local water
authority to check the water hardness
in your area.
2. Identifying the customized detergent
dosage: Check the label in the
detergent/fabric softener container
suggesting the quantity to use. This
suggestion is measured combining
three different factors:
• Water hardness level;
• Normal soil level;
• Rated capacity of the appliance
(e.g. maximum load capacity
9 kg). If the rated capacity on
the product container refers to
lower capacity appliances, the
.
customized dosage should be
increased.
