16.3 Detergent type and

quantity The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your wash performance, but also helps to avoid waste and protect the environment:

Use only detergents and other treatments specially made for washing machines. First, follow these generic rules: – powder detergents (also tablets and single-dose detergents) for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization, – liquid detergents (also single-dose detergents) , preferably for low temperature wash programmes

(60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or special ones for woollens only. The choice and quantity of detergent will depend on: type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the colour of clothes, size of the load, degree of soiling, wash temperature and hardness of the water used. Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding the indicated maximum level ( Do not mix different types of detergents.

• Use less detergent if: – you are washing a small load, – the laundry is lightly soiled, – there is large amounts of foam during washing.
• When using detergent tabs or pods, always put them inside the drum, not in the detergent dispenser and follow the manufacturer's recommendations . Insufficient detergent may cause:
• unsatisfactory washing results,
• the wash load to turn grey,
• mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:

• reduced washing effect,
• a greater impact for the environment.

16.4 Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewash in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!). Loading the appliance to the maximum capacity indicated for each programmes helps to reduce energy and water consumption. With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature. To use the correct quantity of detergent, refer to the quantity suggested by the detergent producer

and check the water hardness of you domestic system. Refer to 'Water hardness'. Set the maximum possible spin speed for the selected programme for saving energy during drying phase!

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener. To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority. Use the correct quantity of water softener. Follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.
