Warning!

 

  You only need to put detergent in Compartment I if you selected 

the Prewash function on washing machines provided with this 
function. 

 

 

 Must Do 

 Optional 

Washing products 

  Use washing products designed especially for washing machines: 

-

 

Powdered detergents for all kinds of textiles except delicate ones. 
For these detergents, we recommend first diluting them with some 
water  to  avoid  clogging  the  detergent  pipe  causing  water  to 
overflow when washing starts. 

-

 

Liquid detergents for all low temperature programmes for all kinds 
of textiles or specialist liquid detergents (e.g. for woollens). 

  Choose  the  detergent  with  care  to  match  the  required  washing 

temperature, to optimise washing while saving water and energy. 
Excess dosages may cause poor rinsing and leave residual traces 
of  detergent.  On  the  other  hand,  an  inadequate  dosage  may 
cause poor washing results.
