Detergents and softeners

Detergent quantity
You can use all powder and liquid detergents suitable for
front-loading washing machines.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because they produce
too much foam.
! Do not use solvent-based detergents in automatic washing
machines.
Do not use washing performance enhancers, stain removers
or sprays near the machine as they could damage the
machine.
Store detergents and additives in a safe place out of the
reach of children.
Only the correct dosage of detergent ensures good washing
results. Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
Use the dispenser provided with the packaging, such as a
detergent ball or sachet, for liquid detergent. Never exceed the
maximum mark, «MAX», on the dispenser.
The quantity of detergent required depends on:
- the water hardness.
- the degree of soiling.
- the amount of washing.
- the dosage recommended for the type of detergent.
Insufficient detergent will not be noticed until the laundry has
been washed several times in the same way:
- The laundry turns grey or is not clean.
- Greyish brown spots may form on the laundry.
- Lime scale may start to form on the appliance heating
elements.
An excessive amount of detergent may cause:
- Unnecessary environmental pollution.
- Slower washing movement in the machine due to the
formation of foam leading to poor washing results.
The detergent dosage given on the packaging is based on a full
washing machine load.
The quantity of detergent should be reduced for smaller loads or
laundry that is lightly soiled.
