DOSAGE
Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in
relation to

e the size of the load
- full load: follow the detergent
manufacturer's instructions
- half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full
load
- minimum load (about 1 kg): half the
amount used for a full load
e water hardness in your area (ask for
information from your water company): soft
water
requires
less
detergent
than
hard
water.
Notes:
e
Toomuch

can
result
in
excess

formation,
which
reduces
washing
efficiency.
If

detects
excessive
foam
it
may
prevent

e The laundry will become grey if you use too
little detergent. Too little detergent wil also
lead to increased scale deposits on the
