And in which form?
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available
in different forms. Whether you chose a powder or liquid in traditional or
compact form is to own personal choice.
TRADITIONAL POWDERS
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle
powder onto clothes in the machine drum.
TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent
drawer marked with the symbol
, start the machine immediately
upon placing the detergent in the dispenser drawer.
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the specially designed dosing
device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of
the machine drum.
COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are available
in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most economical usage. Pour the
detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the
detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be
placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.
* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer, please ensure the dosing
device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme.
FABRIC CONDITIONERS
These are ideal for improving “softness”, and also reduce static cling on
easy-cares and make ironing easier. They are available in two types:
• For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for use in the
washing machine/washer dryer. The liquid fabric soft-
ener should be poured into the compartment marked
with the symbol
. Follow the manufacturer’s dosage
instructions and never exceed the MAX level.
• Bounce conditioning sheets for use in a tumble dryer.
We recommend the conditioning sheets are pinned
(using a safety pin) to an article of laundry and placed
in the tumble dryer.
