Topreventpowdereddetergentfrom

remaininginthedrawer,performthe

following:

- Drytheinsideofthedrawerwithacloth.

- Makesurethatthedetergentisnot

lumpywhenyouadditbecausethismay

causeablockageovertime.

- Ifthedetergentremainsinthedetergent

compartment,putitintothedrum.

Amount of Detergent

Theamountofdetergentyoushoulduse

dependsonthefollowingfactors:

- Howsoiledthelaundryis

- Amountofthelaundry

- Waterhardness

Theamountoffoamvariesaccordingto

theamountandtypeofdetergent,how

soiledthelaundryis,andthehardnessand

temperatureofthewater.

Water softening agent

Ifyouliveinahardwaterarea(total

hardnessof1.3mmol/Lorhigher),we

recommendusingawatersofteningagent.

Formoredetailsonwaterhardness,

contactyourlocalwaterauthority.

Useofawatersofteningagentcanhelp

reducetheamountofdetergentrequired

foreachwashandhelppreventthe

formationoflimescaledeposits,whichmay

damagetheappliance.
