[. . . ] Woollens and particularly delicate items 40 Fabrics such as wool, wool mix or silk marked with this symbol are particularly sensitive to machine washing. The WOOLLENS programme (YÜNLÜLER) is suitable for this type of fabric. Fabrics marked with the symbol (wool) can be machine washed only if the label indicates "does not felt" or "machine washable". If the label has the symbol (hand wash) or (do not wash), garments must not be machine washed! 62 Preparing the wash cycle Detergents and additives Which detergent and additive? Use only detergents and additives for washing machines. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. How much detergent? The quantity depends on: · the load: if the manufacturer does not provide any indications on the amount of detergent for small loads, use about one third less than the suggested amount for half loads and half the amount for very small loads; · the degree of soil: use a small amount of detergent for lightly soiled garments. Judge the amount according to the detergent manufacturer's instructions and size of the load; · the water hardness: the harder the water, the more detergent required. Instructions according to water hardness are given on the detergent pack. Liquid detergent Liquid detergent can be poured directly into the main wash compartment of the dispenser drawer immediately before starting the programme, or a special dispenser can be used that is placed directly in the drum. Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions. Adding a water softener 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). Information on water hardness can be obtained from your local water supply authority.
