Operating Instructions

Detergents and Conditioners

Which detergent and conditioner?

Use only detergents and conditioners which are suitable for use in au-

tomatic washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instruc-

tions.

How much detergent and conditioner?

The required quantity depends upon:

• the extent of soiling of the washing

• the hardness class of the mains water

• the amount of washing

Should the detergent manufacturer not specify the dosage quantity for

less than full loads, reduce the detergent accordingly: For a half load

reduce the quantity by 1/3. For a small load or an EASY IRON pro-

gramme reduce the quantity by 1/2.

Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent

and conditioner manufacturer.

Water softening

For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards) a water

softening agent can be used. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

Then always add the appropriate amount of detergent (underdosing)

for hardness class I (soft). Your local Water Authority can advise you on

the hardness of the water in your area.
