Detergent
All detergents produced for automatic
washing machines are suitable. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
dosage recommendations on the pack-
aging.
The dispensing quantity will depend
on:
- The degree of soiling of the laundry
- The amount of laundry
- The water hardness
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the water hard-
ness level in your area.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in areas
with water hardness levels II and III.
Dispense according to the amount spe-
cified on the packaging. First add deter-
gent and then the water softener.
You can then use the recommended
amount of detergent for water hardness
level I.
