Washing Agents and How Much to Use
Use only washing powder for machine washing.
Use special washing agents for delicate and woollen fabrics.
This washing machine was designed for washing powder as well as for
liquid detergent. As to the quantity of the washing agent, refer to the
manufacturer's recommendation. The quantity of washing agent
recommended on the packaging is usually sufficient for 4.5 to 5 kg of
normally soiled laundry, depending on the hardness degree.

If your water is hard, we recommend using water softener. This means
that you can then use the same quantity of washing powder as if the
water was soft (hardness degree 1). Follow manufacturer's instruction.
Dispenser
The detergent dispenser is divided into three sections (fig. 12). The table
of the programme shows which section to use.
Always add washing agents before switching on and keep the
dispenser clean and dry, so that the washing agent can be efficiently
rinsed from the ispenser.
With programmes without a pre-wash cycle, the washing powder
can be put directly in the drum. This is especially convenient if:
−
you use larger amounts of washing powder (very hard water),
−
you use washing powder which is hard to rinse from the dispenser,
−
water pressure is low,
−
you use a concentrated washing powder special dosing sack which
should be inserted directly in the drum.
Not enough washing powder causes
−
the laundry to turn grey,

This section is used for fabric conditioner and
starching agent.
