Preparing the wash cycle
The washing machine incorporates a recirculation system which allows an
optimal use of the concentrated detergent.

just

starting the programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment
marked
before starting the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and
do
not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.
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.
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.Pour le traitement des taches
avant le cycle de lavage, conformez-vous aux doses et aux instructions
préconisées par le fabricant du produit. Si vous utilisez du produit de lavage

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).
