packaging. First add detergent and then the water
softener.
You can then use the recommended amount of
detergent for water hardness level soft.

Water softeners
All detergents produced for automatic washing
machines are suitable. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and dosage recommendations on the
packaging.
The correct amount to dispense will depend on
the following:
– the soiling level of the load
– the quantity of the laundry
– the water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier if you do not know
the hardness level in your area.
Prepare the starch in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.

Add liquid starch to the compartment and powder
or viscous starch to the
compartment.
•
Select the Rinse programme.

Change the spin speed if necessary.

Colour run and dye removers/dyes
WARNING: Damage due to colour run/dye
removers. Colour run and dye removers can cause
corrosion in the washing machine.
Do not use colour run or dye removers in this
washing machine.
Dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these are supplied with
the detergent, particularly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent buy refill packs wherever
possible. This helps reduce the amount of waste
packaging.
Fabric conditioner and liquid starch
Fabric conditioner makes garments soft to handle
and helps prevent static cling when tumble drying.
(Concentrated softener may need to be diluted).
Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g.
shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.
Limescale prevention
Use proprietary treatments if using hot washes in
hard water areas. Follow supplied instructions.
