Notes:
To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that:
1 tablespoon = 15 gr. of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid - 1 teaspoon = 5 gr. of powder = approximately 5 ml of liquid
* The Eco wash cycle adheres to the regulation EN-50242. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles it uses less
energy and is les harmful to the environment.
