AVOID OVERDOSING
OR UNDERDOSING
Too much detergent can result in excessive
foam formation. This will prolong the programme
duration and increase the water consumption, and
can even prevent the spin cycle.
Insucient detergent may result in grey laundry
and also calcies the heating system, drum and
hoses.
DYEING AND BLEACHING › Only use dyes and bleaches that are suitable for
washing machines.
› Follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.
› Plastic and rubber parts of the washing
machine can be stained by dyes or bleaches.
USING STARCH › Select the Rinse and Spin programme and check
that the spin speed is adjusted to not more than
800 rpm.
› Start the programme, pull out the detergent
dispenser so that you can see approximately 3 cm of
the softener chamber.
› Pour the starch solution prepared into the
softener chamber while the water is running into
the detergent dispenser.
STAIN REMOVAL › Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by
the automatic enzyme phase of the programme.
› To remove red wine, coee, tea, grass and fruit
stains etc. add a stain remover to the main wash
chamber of the detergent dispenser.
› Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover if
necessary.
DOSING Follow the dosage recommendations on the
detergent pack. They depend on:
› Degree and type of soiling
› Size of wash
- full load: follow the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions.
- half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load.
- minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount used
for a full load.
› Water hardness in your area (ask for
information from your water company).
Soft water requires less detergent than hard water.
