detergent

WARNING

To avoid risk of poisoning, keep detergents and 
cleaning products out of the reach of children.

Avoid overuse of detergent.

Measure out the detergent according to:

The amount of laundry.

The degree of soiling. 

~

 Page 35

The water hardness. This information can be obtained 
from your local water authority. Soft water requires 
less detergent.

Too much detergent

Excessive foam will reduce washing agitation and 
cause poor washing and rinsing results.

Not environmentally compatible (wastes detergent and 
is not good for the environment).

Too little detergent

Laundry will not be washed clean.

Eventually the laundry will take on a grey and hard 
appearance. Greyish-brown grease spots may stain 
the laundry, heating elements may begin to calcify.

The fabric care label is important for selecting the 
correct detergent, temperature and treatment of the 
laundry.

If desired you can visit the following sites for additional 
information on detergents and fabric care.
