Which detergent?....
To ensure you obtain the best wash
results from your appliance, it is
important to use the right detergent in
your everyday wash, and only
detergents recommended for use in
automatic machines.
To maintain the appearance of your
clothes and household textiles and to
make them last longer you should use
different types of detergent for
different washes, whether for whites,
colours or delicates.
WHITES
You can use a biological product
designed to provide excellent cleaning
and stain removal even at low
temperatures or a non biological
detergent, which does not contain
enzymes.
COLOUREDS
For coloured items you should use a
detergent which is designed to clean
while maintaining the original colour.
DELICATE ITEMS
When washing delicates such as
woollens, you should use a product
which is specially designed to care for
fine fabrics.
LAUNDRY BLEACH
For additional stain removal you may
wish to use a Gentle Bleach product
which is used in addition to your
chosen detergent.
And in which form?
Not only are there different types of
detergent, but they are also available
in different forms. Whether you chose
a powder or liquid in traditional or
compact form is to own personal
choice.
TRADITIONAL POWDERS
Pour the powder directly into the
dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle
powder onto clothes in the machine
drum.
TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS
Liquid can be placed in the main
wash compartment of the detergent
drawer marked with the symbol
.
Start the machine immediately upon
placing the detergent in the dispenser
drawer.
Alternatively the detergent is
measured into the specially designed
dosing device* which should be
placed on top of the laundry, and at
the back of the machine drum.
COMPACT POWDERS AND
LIQUIDS
Compact detergents (or concentrates
as they are also known) are available
in liquid or powder form, and generally
require a smaller dosage. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to ensure
the most economical usage. Pour the
detergent directly into the dispenser
drawer, or alternatively measure the
detergent into the specially designed
dosing device* which should be
placed on top of the laundry, and at
the back of the machine drum.

* If you use a dosing device, please
ensure the dosing device/ball is
removed before carrying out a
drying programme.
Quantity of detergent to be
used
The quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size,
degree of soiling and hardness of the
water used.
Water hardness is classified in so-
called “degrees” of hardness.
Information on hardness of water in
your area can be obtained from
your water supply company or from
your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’
instructions on quantities to be used.
Use less detergent if:
– you are washing small loads,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– large amounts of foam form during
washing.
FABRIC CONDITIONERS
These are ideal for improving
‘softness’, and also reduce static cling
on synthetics and make ironing
easier.
The liquid fabric softener should be
poured into the compartment marked
with the symbol
.
Follow the manufacturer’s dosage
instructions and never exceed the
MAX level.
