Choice of detergent
Manufacturers always mark maximum detergent quantities to be used on
their detergent packages, depending on the amount of washing.
Comply with doses and instructions specified on packages.
The “Direct Spray” washing process reduces consumption of water and
detergents, consequently you should only use two thirds of the doses
recommended on packages by detergent manufacturers.
Proportioning
The quantity of detergent to be
used depends on the amount of
washing to be washed, the hard-
ness of the water and how dirty
your washing is.
Reduce doses slightly if the wa-
ter is soft. Increase doses slightly
if the water is hard, or if the
washing is very dirty or stained.
You can determine the degree
of hardness of your water by
asking the water distribution
utility in your region or any other competent authority.
Note: Only use low foam detergents sold in the shops specially for use in
washing machines. Use neutral products for washing woolens.
If you use liquid detergents, put the proportioning ball directly in the drum
and choose a program without pre-wash. If you dry your washing in a drier,
do not forget to take out the proportioning ball. You can also add liquid
detergent for your washing into the drum directly, provided that you do not
do a pre-wash and you start your washing machine immediately.
Liquid detergents are suitable for low temperatures (namely 30°C and 40°C).
It is recommended that a powder detergent should be used for higher
temperatures from 60°C to 90°C.
