Detergent 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 quantity required depends upon:

• the extent to which the washing is soiled

• the degree of hardness 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 one third; for a small load or EASY IRON (FACILE

A REPASSER) reduce the quantity by one half. Observe the instructions

for use and dosing provided by the detergent and conditioner manu-

facturer.

Water Softener

For medium to high water hardness (hardness category II or higher) you

should use water softener. Pay attention to the manufacturer's instruc-

tions. Always then meter detergent for hardness category I (= soft). The

responsible water works can provide information on the local water

hardness.

Since the water softener is added before the main washing detergent,

(water pre-softening), eighty percent of the softener quantity stated on

the package is sufficient.
