DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
Choice of the right detergents and

additives:

The type of detergent depends on:

  -   Type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,

    delicate items, wool).

  -  Colour.

  -   Washing temperature.

  -   Degree and type of soiling.
•   Use only specific detergents for wool and

  garments made of microfibres (like sports or

  swimwear).

•   Do not use liquid detergents when activating the

  “Start delay” function (if available on your

  machine).

•   Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash

  when activating the “Prewash” option or

  selecting a programme with “Prewash” (if

  available on your model).

•   Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by

  insoluble detergents components used in

  modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If

  you notice this problem, shake or brush the

  affected items or use liquid detergents.

•   Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place

  out of the reach of children.

•   Use only detergents and additives specifically

  produced for domestic washing machines.

•   If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches,

  make sure that they are suitable for washing

  machine use.

•   Descaler could contain components that can

  damage parts of your washing machine.

•   Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc.).

•   Do not machine wash fabrics that have been

  treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

Dosage

Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in

relation to:
  -   The degree and type of soiling.

  -   The size of the load.

     

Full load: follow the detergent 

     

manufacturer’s instructions;

     

Half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full 

     

load;

     

Minimum load (about 1 kg): half 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.
•   Too much detergent can result in excess foam

  formation, and the reduction of washing efficiency.

  If the washing machine detects excessive foam it

  may prevent spinning.

•   Insufficient detergent may result in:

  grey laundry, deposits on the drum, tub and

  heater.

•   When using concentrated fabric softeners, add

  water in the detergents dispenser up to “MAX”

  level mark.

•   To prevent dispensing problems when using

  highly concentrated powder and liquid

  detergents, use the special detergent ball or bag

  supplied with the detergent and place it inside

  the drum.

Where to put detergents and additives
•   Laundry detergent for prewash and main wash

•   Laundry detergent for main wash without prewash

•   Fabric softeners no more than to “MAX” mark.

•   Stain removers

•   Water softeners (water hardness class 4)

•   Starch (dissolved in water; maximum 100 ml)

Observe the “MAX” level marks for powder detergent         , 

liquid detergent          and fabric softener        .
For programmes without prewash and temperatures from cold to 

40°C, it is recommended to use liquid detergents to avoid whitish 

residues on the laundry.
