Adding detergent

Adding detergent
i = Compartment soak/pre-wash
j = Compartment main wash
p
= Compartment fabric conditioner
Water is taken in through compartment
i in the pre-wash.
Water is taken in through compartment
j in the main wash. If the capacity of
compartment j is insufficient for the
amount of detergent needed for a
COTTONS programme (e.g. in very
hard water areas), the machine can be
programmed so that water and deter-
gent can also be taken into the main
wash through compartment i , see
"Programmable functions", "Activating
compartment i".

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in water
hardness ranges II-IV. Dispense ac-
cording to the amount specified on the
packaging. First add detergent and
then the water softener.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment j in the fol-
lowing order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain salts
This way the agents are distributed
more efficiently.
Fabric conditioners, tex-
turisers, liquid starch
Fabric conditioners make garments
soft and fluffy to handle and help pre-
vent static cling when tumble drying.
Texturisers are synthetic starch formula-
tions and give body to items e.g. shirts,
tablecloths and bed linen.
Starch gives body to items of washing.
Dispense according to the amount
specified on the packaging.
