They depend on: • degree and type of soiling • size of wash - 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 If there is no reference to a certain wash load on the detergent pack: the detergent manufacturers usually refer their dosing recommendations to 4. 5 kg laundry for heavy duty detergent and 2. 5 kg laundry for delicate detergent. • water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company). Soft water requires less detergent than hard water. Please note: Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning, or prolong the programme duration and increase the water consumption (see also remarks on foam formation in the “Troubleshooting Guide”). Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses. For laundry requiring special treatment (e. g. wool or microfibers), we recommend to use specialized detergents, additives or pre-treatment available on the market.
