6.3

Detergent

Good washing results also depend
on the choice of detergent and use
of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents
contain substances which, in large
quantities, can upset the delicate
balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric (delicates,
woolens, cottons, etc.), the colour,
washing temperature and degree of
soiling.
Don't use the wrong type of
detergent. You must use a low
sudsing detergent designed for
front load washing machines or
high efficiency top loaders, such
as Cold Power for Front Loaders
and High Efficiency Top Loaders
or detergents labelled "Matic".
Don't use soap-based products in
your washing machine.
Don't use too much detergent.
This can result in excessive suds
that can cause low spin speeds,
poor rinsing and overloading the
motor during spin stages of the
wash program.
Don't use too little detergent
because you will get a poor wash.
If you think you need more,
increase dosages by only small
amounts to avoid excessive suds.
WARNING!
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent
will depend on the type of fabric, load
size, degree of soiling and hardness
of the water used.
Water hardness is classified in
so-called "degrees" of hardness.
Information on hardness of the water
in your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or
from your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers'
instructions on quantities to use.
Not enough washing powder
causes: the washload to turn grey,
greasy clothes.
Too much washing powder causes:
sudsing, reduced washing effect,
inadequate rinsing.
Use less detergent if: you are
washing a small load, the laundry is
lightly soiled, large amounts of
foam form during washing.
