Risk of poisoning

Keep detergents and care products out of the reach of children.

Risk of chemical burns

Take care when opening the detergent drawer. There may still be 
detergent residues in the drawer.

Select the correct dosage for the detergent according to:
– the amount of laundry,
– the instructions of the detergent manufacturer,
– how dirty the laundry is,
– the water hardness. You can find out about water hardness in your area 

from your local waterworks.

Using the correct dosage reduces the impact on the environment and 
gives a good washing result.

Only use pH-neutral wool detergent for woollens programmes.
