Your ÖKO-LAVAMAT is equipped with a particularly
efficient water softener, through two-stage addition of
water softener and detergent. For washes without a pre-
wash cycle, this allows the separate addition of softener
and detergent. This enables a saving in detergent and
noticeable improvement in discharge water quality.
The two-stage addition ensures that first the water softener
is added. Only then is the detergent added, reacts with
the softened water and is immediately effective for
dissolving dirt. This ensures that wash results are always
perfect despite very economical use of detergent.
The softener quantity should be added in accordance with
water hardness, following the instructions on the softener
packet, less 20% which can be saved on account of the
optimum effectiveness of the water pre-softening.
Detergent in this case should always be in quantities
required for water hardness I - “soft” in accordance with
the instructions on the packet.
You can also use programmes with a pre-wash cycle in an
environmentally conscious manner. Add the detergent
and softener together in the pre-wash and main wash
compartments.
Of course, you can also use normal detergent without
softener, adding the quantities recommended on the
packet in accordance with the degree of hardness of the
water.
