NOTE :
 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.
 If too many suds occur, please reduce the detergent amount.
 Always adjust the amount of detergent according 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.
 Highly concentrated (compact detergent) requires particularly accurate dosing.
