Liquid Detergents; Detergents And Additives; Water Hardness - Zanussi T803V Instruction Manual

To remove paint stains, for example, use a volatile
substance such as turpentine: in this case, you should
wait for it to dry completely before washing.
The manufacturer of your washing machine is not
responsible for any damage deriving from the use of
volatile, inflammable or toxic substances.
At the end of the washing
Damp laundry should be dried as soon as possible
after finishing the wash.
Knitwear and woollens should be dried flat away from
direct sunlight.

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 damage the delicate ecological
balance of nature.
Always use good quality detergents suitable for
use in washing machines.
Follow the indications given by the detergent manu-
facturer according to the weight of laundry, the degree
of soil and the hardness of the water in your area; if
you do not know how hard it is, ask your local Water
Authority.
Powder detergents.
The washing powder should be placed in the
appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer
before starting the programme. Special detergents
are availaible for coloured and delicate fabrics and for
wool.
"Concentrated" powder detergents
Pour the concentrated powder detergent into the
main wash ( ) compartment.
Avoid selecting programmes including prewash
when concentrated detergents are used.

Liquid detergents

Using the new automatic dispenser for liquid
detergents, it is possible to use a liquid detergent for
main wash phases if you start the washing machine
immediately.
Liquid detergents can be used instead of powder
detergents particularly for lightly soiled laundry and
for medium or low temperature washing program-
mes, while it is better to use a powder detergent for
high temperature washing programmes.
Liquid additives
Any liquid additives for softening the laundry must be
poured into the compartment
dispenser drawer before starting the programme.
The addition of water softener is particularly useful
when drying the clothes in a tumble dryer after washing
to avoid a static charge.
Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds
the MAX level.
