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 remover 

can damage plastic components on your 

washing machine.

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, detergents 

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, woollens, 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 the 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 wash load 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, and large amounts of foam 

form during washing.

Water hardness is classified in so-called 

“degrees” of hardness.

Blood:

 treat fresh stains with cold  water. 

For dried stains, soak overnight in water 

with a special detergent then rub in the 

soap and water.

Oil based paint:

 moisten with benzine 

stain remover, lay the garment on a soft 

cloth and dab the stain; treat several 

times.

Dried grease stains:

 moisten with 

turpentine, lay the garment on a soft 

surface and dab the stain with the 

fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Stubborn stains may not be removed by 

just water and detergent. It is therefore 

advisable to treat them prior to washing.

Rust:

 oxalic acid dissolved in hot water 

or a rust removing product used in cold 

water. Be careful with rust stains which 

are not recent since the cellulose 

structure will already have been 

damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
