Basic washing tips
The right washing detergent
– Do not use other cleaning agents, such as
scouring powder, household cleaners, etc.
These will damage the appliance and your
laundry.
Fabric-care products
– Do not use fabric softener in the same
wash cycle as starch, fabric conditioner, or
finishes.
– Before dispensing viscous fabric-care
products, mix them together with a little
water to thin them out.
– Only use powder starch according to the
instructions on the packet and not with high
temperatures, or it may form clumps.
The right dosage
The motto “more is better” does not apply to
detergents and fabric-care products. They
must be dosed properly to achieve the perfect
wash result. Here are some tips:
– If necessary, use a smaller dosage of de-
tergents and fabric-care products if the
drum is not filled completely. For exam-
ple, for half loads, only use about half the
amount needed for a full drum.
– Always adjust the amount of detergent to
the respective hardness of the water. If
your tap water is soft, you need less deter-
gent. Information about the water hardness
in your area is provided by the waterworks
responsible. The water hardness is also
shown on the invoice from your water sup-
plier.
