Detergents and Conditioners

Which detergent and conditioner?

Use only detergents and conditioners which are suitable for use in au-
tomatic washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.

How much detergent and conditioner?

The required quantity depends upon:

the extent of soiling of the washing

the hardness class of the mains water 

the amount of washing

Should the detergent manufacturer not specify the dosage quantity for 
less than full loads, reduce the detergent accordingly: For a half load 
reduce the quantity by 1/3. For a small load or an EASY IRON pro-
gramme reduce the quantity by 1/2.
Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent 
and conditioner manufacturer.

Water softening

For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards) a water 
softening agent can be used. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. 
Then always add the appropriate amount of detergent (underdosing) 
for hardness class I (soft). Your local Water Authority can advise you on 
the hardness of the water in your area.
