domestic washing machines.

For USA and Canada only!
Important!
Only LOW-SUDSING detergent suitable for a front-loading
washing machine can be used in this machine. This machine can heat the
water up to 95 degrees celsius, or 200 degrees fahrenheit, and care should
be taken to ensure that the correct washing powder is used. If you have any
doubt, check with your dealer or the distributor.
WARRANTY AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARE VOIDED IF A LOW
SUDSING DETERGENT IS NOT USED.
Dose detergent and additives according to the instructions of the detergent
and additive manufacturers. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
Dosing depends upon:
–
the washing’s degree of soiling,
–
the size of the load
–
the degree of hardness of the water supply.
•
If the manufacturer does not give instructions for small loads: for a half
load, use a third less, for a very small load, use only half of the detergent
that is recommended for a full load.
•
From water hardness 2 (= medium) upwards, water softener should be
used. Detergent can then always be dosed for water hardness 1
(= soft). Your local water company will be able to give you information
about the water hardness in your area.
