Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage and help to protect the environment: although they are biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which alter the balance of nature. We recommend the following: • use powder detergents for white cotton garments and pre-washing. €¢ use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and for all low-temperature wash cycles. [. . . ] €¢ If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience. €¢ The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe. €¢ The wash cycle does not include draining: Some wash cycles require the drain phase to be started manually (see “Wash cycles and options”).
