• about one third full for very delicate articles such as net curtains
and wool.
For a mixed wash, fill the drum as required for the most delicate ma-
terial.
5.3. Detergents and additives
Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a washing ma-
chine. Read the manufacturer's instructions and respect sections 2.1
and 3.2.
Powder detergents can be used without restriction; liquid detergents
should be poured either in the proportioning bowl directly in the
drum, or in the wash compartment provided that the washing machi-
ne is started immediately; detergents in tablets or doses must be put
into the wash compartment of the detergents dispenser in your
washing machine.
The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the amount of
washing to be washed, the hardness of the water and how dirty the
washing is.
If the water is soft, you can reduce the doses slightly. Increase the
doses slightly if the water is hard (it is recommended to use a water
softener) or if the washing is very dirty or stained.
You can ask the water distribution company in your region or any
other competent authority to find out the degree of hardness of your
water.
