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 (60°C max) and woollens · liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only. The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme. If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected. Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent. Follow the product manufacturer's recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer .

Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority. A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree of hardness (from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer's instructions. The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft). Characteristic soft medium hard very hard Degrees of water hardness German °dH 0-7 8-14 15-21 > 21 French °T.
