Detergent and conditioner
Which detergent and conditioner?
Use only detergents and conditioners which are suitable for use in
washing machines. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions.
How much detergent and conditioner?
The required quantity depends upon:
• the amount of washing
If the detergent manufacturer does not include dosing instructions for
2
reduced loads, use one third less for half loads and only half of the full
load detergent quantity for very small loads.
• extent of soiling of the washing
• hardness of tap water
Observe instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent and
conditioner manufacturer.
Using Water Softener
In the case of medium to very hard water (from hardness band II) water
softener should be used. Observe the manufacturer's instructions! Then
always use detergent dosing for hardness band I (= soft). Information
on the hardness of the water in your area is provided by your local
water board.
Due to the fact that the water softener is added before the main wash
2
detergent (pre-softening of the water), only eighty percent of the
quantity of water softener indicated on the package is required.
