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 always be dosed for water hardness 1 (= soft).
