DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
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, woollens, cottons,
etc.), the colour, washing temperature and
degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine
detergents may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics
(60°C max) and woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low tem-
perature wash programmes (60°C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for wool-
lens only.
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments of
the dispenser drawer before starting the
wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme
without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation
system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.

QUANTITY OF DETERGENT TO BE
USED
The type and quantity of detergent will de-
pend on the type of fabric, load size, de-
gree of soiling and hardness of the water
used.
Follow the product manufacturers' instruc-
tions on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load
• the laundry is lightly soiled
• large amounts of foam form during wash-
ing.
DEGREES OF WATER HARDNESS
Water hardness is classified in so-called
"degrees" of hardness. Information on hard-
ness of the water in your area can be ob-
tained from the relevant water supply com-
pany, or from your local authority. If the wa-
ter hardness degree is medium or high we
suggest you to add a water softener follow-
ing always the manufacturer's instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, read-
just the quantity of the detergent.
