[. . . ] 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 (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. 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. 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. DEGREES OF WATER HARDNESS 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. If the water hardness degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water softener following always the manufacturer's instructions. When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity of the detergent. 1) do not use acetone on artificial silk 14 electrolux WASHING PROGRAMMES Programme Maximum and Minimum Temperature Cycle Description Maximum Spin Speed Maximum Fabrics Load Type of Laundry Bomull 95° - 60° Main wash - Rinses Maximum spin speed Max. load 8 kg - Reduced load 4 kg For white cottons (heavily soiled items).
