Using the correct amount of detergent, is determined by the following factors:
• size and type of your washing machine
• your water supply (hard or soft water)
• degree of soiling of your laundry
• amount of fabric in your drum
• type and brand of detergent used
Before adding detergent please check if
• Your washing machine is loaded to its max capacity
--> this saves energy and water
• Your laundry is badly soiled ie greasy, ground in dirt etc
• The amount of detergent to be used tallys with the type of water (ie hard / soft) according to
detergent manufacturers instructions
• The detergent is suitable for the selected programme, temperature, and type of fabric to be
washed.
Protection of the environment
Your washing machine protects the environment, by saving up to 30 % of detergent because:
• Your machine is fi tted with an ECO - Valve
(This prevents any unused detergent from being discharged)
• The amount of powder needed as indicated by detergent manufacturers on their packaging is
designed for 5 kg machines
--> Your machine however has a max capacity of 3 kg.
--> Use less for smaller quantities.
Compartment I
pre-wash, bleach or spotting agents
Compartment II
main-wash
Compartment III
conditioner, softening agents
Advise
The manufacturer recommends for an additional water softening devise to be fi tted to your machine, if
you live in an area with "normal" water, since this signifi cantly reduces the amount of detergent needed
(see soft water).
