Detergent and fabric conditioner
The type and the quantity of detergent you use both
have an impact on the results you achieve with your
washing machine. Using too much detergent is
unnecessary and increases overall impact on the
environment quite needlessly. Even biodegradable
detergents contain substances which can disturb
the balance of the environment.
Use only good-quality detergents which are
intended for use in automatic washing
machines.
In determining exactly how much to use, follow the
detergent manufacturer's recommendations, taking
into account the size of the wash load, the degree of
soiling and the hardness of your water supply. If you
are unsure of exactly how hard the water is in your
area, the water company should be able to tell you.
Detergent
Pour the detergent into the left-hand compartment
of the detergent dispenser before starting the pro-
gramme. Special types of detergent are available
for coloureds, delicates and wool.
Liquid detergent
A suitable liquid detergent can be used instead of
powder detergent for programmes with low or medium
wash temperatures. In these cases you should select
a programme without pre-wash. Pour the liquid de-
tergent into the detergent compartment immediately
before you start the programme.
Fabric conditioner
If you are using fabric conditioner, pour it into the
right-hand compartment of the detergent dispenser.
Fabric conditioner is particularly useful if the load
will later be dried in a tumble dryer, as it counteracts
static electricity.
