Washing Detergents and Care Agents

Which washing detergnet and care agent?

Use only washing detergents and care agents which are suitable for use
in washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

How much washing detergent and care agent?

The amount to be used depends on:

• the dirtiness of the washing

• the hardness category of the mains water supply

• the filling quantity

2

If the detergent manufacturer gives no details of the dosing quantities
for minimum loads, add one third less for half loads and, in the case of
very small loads and for EASY IRON (SANS REPASSAGE), only half the
amount of detergent recommended for a full load.

Refer to the detergent/care manufacturer's instructions on use and
dosage.

Water Softener

For medium to high water hardness (hardness category II or higher) you
should use water softener. Pay attention to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Always then meter detergent for hardness category I (= soft). The
responsible water works can provide information on the local water
hardness.

2

Since the water softener is added before the main washing detergent,
(water pre-softening), eighty percent of the softener quantity stated on
the package is sufficient.
