If you use pre-treatment sprays or 
stain removers, apply them to the 
clothing well away from your 
washing machine.

PRE-TREATMENT SPRAYS 
AND STAIN REMOVERS 

Pre-treatment sprays and stain 
remover can damage plastic 
components on your washing 
machine.

DETERGENT

Wash bras, pantyhose and other 
delicates in a mesh laundry bag, 
which you can purchase from 
your supermarket. 

WARNING!

Don’t use the wrong type of detergent. 
You must use a low sudsing detergent 
designed for front load washing 
machines or high efficiency top 
loaders, such as Cold Power for Front 
Loaders and High Efficiency Top 
Loaders or detergents labelled “Matic”.

Don’t use soap-based products in 
your washing machine.
Don’t use too much detergent. This 
can result in excessive suds that can 
cause low spin speeds, poor rinsing 
and overloading the motor during spin 
stages of the wash program.
Don’t use too little detergent because 
you will get a poor wash. If you think 
you need more, increase dosages by 
only small amounts to avoid excessive 
suds.

Quantity of detergent to be used

Good washing results also depend 
on the choice of detergent and use 
of the correct quantities to avoid 
waste and protect the environment. 
Although biodegradable, deter-
gents contain substances which, in 
large quantities, can upset the 
delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will 
depend on the type of fabric 
(delicates, cottons, etc.), 
the colour, washing temperature 
and degree of soiling.

The type and quantity of detergent will 
depend on the type of fabric, load size, 
degree of soiling and hardness of the 
water used.

Information on hardness of the water in 
your area can be obtained from the 
relevant water supply company, or from 
your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’ 
instructions on quantities to use.

Not enough washing powder causes: 
the washload to turn grey, greasy 
clothes.
Too much washing powder causes: 
sudsing, reduced washing effect, 
inadequate rinsing.
Use less detergent if: you are washing 
a small load, the laundry is lightly 
soiled, large amounts of foam form 
during washing.

Water hardness is classified in so-called 
“degrees” of hardness.

Remove hooks or tie them up in 
a bag or net.
