The amount of detergent must be decided in relation of the hardness of the water, the type and
quantity of items loaded, and their degree of dirt.
This will provide the desired effect with optimal detergent consumption.
On detergent packs the recommended dose is indicated for 4 levels of water hardness and for loads of
4-5 kg of washing with average dirt levels.
Request information about the water's hardness from your water supply company.

4.7 LIQUID DETERGENT DOSES
1.
Pour the dose required into the measuring cap supplied with the bottle of liquid detergent and
place it in the drum, or use the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer, fitting the insert
provided.
2.
The scale on the red insert is intended as an aid when deciding the dose of liquid detergent.
Warning!
Liquid detergents can be used, at the doses recommended by the producer, only for the main
wash, i.e. in all programmes without prewash.
Following the recommendations in the "Programmes Table"
supplied with this manual, place the detergent and any addi-
tives in the drawer before the start of the programme.
Never fill with liquids above the maximum level marked;
otherwise the trays will empty too quickly.
Before pouring dense additives into the container, dilute with a
little water to ensure they do not clog the outlet.
Use only low-foam detergents suitable for use in a washing
machine.
