■
Agglomerating or ropy detergent or additive can be diluted in some water before
pouring it into the detergent dispenser, to avoid its inlet to get blocked and thus
cause a water overflow.
■
Please choose the suitable type of detergent to get a maximum of washing
performance and a minimum of water and energy consumption
■
To achieve the best cleaning result a proper detergent dosing is important.
■
Use a reduced detergent amount if the drum is not filled completely.
■
Always adjust the amount of detergent to the water hardness, if your tap water is
soft, use less detergent.

Dose according to how dirty your laundry is, less dirty clothes require less
detergent.
