Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of deter-
gent 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.

Place the laundry in the
drum, one item at a time,
shaking them out as much
as possible.
Warning! Make sure
that any fabrics were
not trapped when closing
the door.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may
be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric,
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (40°C max) and
woollens,
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash
programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or spe-
cial for woollens only.
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.
For the quantity of detergent, refer always to what is writ-
ten on the product packing.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Degrees of water hardness
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 com-
pany, or from your local authority.
If the water hardness degree is medium or high we sug-
gest you to add a water softener following always the
manufacturer's instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity
of the detergent.
Open the detergent dispenser drawer
