Choice of detergent
Manufacturers always mark maximum detergent quantities to be used on
their detergent packages, depending on the amount of washing.
Comply with doses and instructions specified on packages.
Proportioning
The quantity of detergent to be used
depends on the amount of washing to
be washed, the hardness of the water
and how dirty your washing is.
Reduce doses slightly if the water is
soft. Increase doses slightly if the
water is hard, or if the washing is very
dirty or stained.
You can determine the degree of hardness of your water by asking the water
distribution utility in your region or any other competent authority.
Note: Only use low foam detergents sold in the shops specially for use in
washing machines. Use neutral products for washing woolens.
If you use liquid detergents, put the proportioning ball directly in the drum
and choose a program without pre-wash. If you dry your washing in a drier,
do not forget to take out the proportioning ball. You can also add liquid
detergent for your washing into the drum directly, provided that you do not
do a pre-wash and you start your washing machine immediately.
Liquid detergents are suitable for low temperatures (namely 30°C and 40°C).
It is recommended that a powder detergent should be used for higher
temperatures from 60°C to 90°C.
Softener
With this distributor, you can automatically add a liquid softener to your last
rinse water. Respect the proportions shown on the flask, depending on the
nature of the softener used (normal or concentrated).
Do not exceed the maximum softener quantity (80 ml) specified for the
product box. An overflow orifice under the softener display window will
inform you if you add too much.
It is recommended that you should add a softener product while washing to
facilitate drying and make your washing softer. It can also help to eliminate
static electricity.
