Ecological hints
• Set a programme without the prewash
phase to wash laundry with normal soil.
• Always start a washing programme with
the maximum load of laundry.
• If necessary, use a stain remover when
you set a programme with a low tem-
perature.
• To use the correct quantity of the deter-
gent, check the water hardness of your
domestic system
10.5
Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you use
a water softener for washing machines. In
areas where the water hardness is soft it
is not necessary to use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water soft-
ener. Obey the instructions that you find
on the packaging of the product.

Descaling
If the water hardness in your area is high

With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in

wash. To do this:
• Remove the laundry from the drum.

highest temperature with a small quan-
tity of detergent.
