• Use the correct products for the type
and colour of the fabric, the

13.4 Ecological hints
• Set a programme without the prewash
phase to wash laundry with normal
soil.
• Always start a washing programme
with the maximum allowed load of
laundry.
• If necessary, use a stain remover
when you set a programme with a low
temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of the
detergent, check the water hardness
of your domestic system. Refer to
"Water hardness".
13.5 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 know the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water
softener. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
