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
temperature.

detergent, check the water hardness of
your domestic system

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
softener. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
