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 informa-
tion about the water hardness in your area.
