Dosages
Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine.
You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products
and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well
as the type of detergent to choose.
The amount of detergent to use depends on:
- water hardness: depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, it
is possible to reduce the amount of detergent.
- the degree of soiling: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on
the degree of soiling.
- amount of laundry: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a
small amount of laundry.
Dosage for powder detergent
For normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a
programme without prewash.
Put the detergent in compartment “II” of the drawer.
For heavily soiled laundry, choose a programme with prewash.
Put 1/4 of the detergent in compartment “I”, 3/4 in compartment “II” of the drawer.
When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, then add the softener to compartment “II”.
For highly concentrated detergents not in single dose format, follow what is shown on pack
exactly as regards type and amount of dosage.
To avoid the difficulty of checking if the detergent has been taken up, use the dosage aids
provided in the detergent packaging.
Liquid detergent dosage
Liquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant
packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the special container which is
placed in the drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents.
Recommendations on the use of detergent at various temperatures
When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above
and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/
high temperatures provide excellent results. For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type
of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal
powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents
or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.
For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or
detergents specifi cally labeled as suitable for low temperature washing. For washing wool or
silk, only use detergents specifi cally formulated for these fabrics. For dosage amounts please
follow the instructions on the detergent package label.
