Important: Use only detergents and additives that
are suitable for use in domestic washing machines.
1For USA and Canada only!
Important! Only LOW-SUDSING detergent suitable
for a front-loading washing machine can be used in
this machine. This machine can heat the water up to
95 degrees celsius, or 200 degrees fahrenheit, and
care should be taken to ensure that the correct
washing powder is used. If you have any doubt,
check with your dealer or the distributor.
WARRANTY AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARE VOIDED IF A LOW SUDSING DETERGENT IS
NOT USED.
Dose detergent and additives according to the in-
structions of the detergent and additive manufactur-
ers. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
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 al-
ways be dosed for water hardness 1
(= soft). Your local water company will be able to
give you information about the water hardness in
your area.
