Whites may lose their "whiteness" in the wash. · New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time. · Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e. g. · Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. · Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste. · Treat curtains with special care. (*) do not use acetone on artificial silk. Quantity of detergent to be used The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used. Water hardness is classified in so-called "degrees" of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority. Follow the product manufacturers' instructions on quantities to use. Use less detergent if: ­ you are washing a small load; ­ the laundry is lightly soiled; ­ large amounts of foam form during washing. Detergents and additives Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment. Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature. The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc. ), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling. All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance: ­ powder detergents for all types of fabric; ­ powder detergents for delicate fabrics; ­ liquid detergents for all types of fabric. The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme. If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected. [. . . ] · Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used. · Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp. · Check that the drain hose is not damaged. [. . . ]
