Detergents and additives Always use high efficiency, Low foam detergent for a front Load machine. The choice of detergent depends on: + type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics, delicate items, wool). (@) Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool + colour + the wash temperature + degree and type of soiling Remarks: Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. lfthis occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use Liquid detergents. Use only detergents and additives specifically produced for domestic washing machines. When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches for the pre-wash, make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic washing machines. Descalers could contain products which could damage your washing machine. Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine]. Do not wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids. Dosage Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on: + degree and type of soiling + size ofwash follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions for a full load; 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. Notes: Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. lfthe washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning. Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in time and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.
