Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and 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 the water in your area can
be obtained from the relevant water
supply company, or from your local
authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’
instructions on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during
washing.
• for the stain treatment before the
washing cycle, follow the product
manufacturers’ instructions on
detergent quantities. If you use any
specific product to remove the stains,
you must start the washing
immediately.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-
called “degrees” of hardness.
Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
Note:
A water softener must be added
when water has a medium-high degree
of hardness (from degree of hardness
II). Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. The quantity of detergent
can then always be adjusted to degree
of hardness I (=soft).
