The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.),
the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all
types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme
without

Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load
• the laundry is lightly soiled

Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so

called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of
the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from

a water softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions. When the degree of
hardness is soft, readjust the quantity of the detergent.
