•
Dispensing the detergent
The amount of detergent to be used depends on
the hardness of the water, the extent to which your
washing is soiled and the amount of washing to be
washed.
Please refer to the dosing instructions on your pack
of detergent.
Warning: in most cases, the detergent
manufacturer’s recommendations apply to the
drum filled to the maximum. Adjust the dosage
correctly to the weight of the washing you have
placed in the machine.
These recommendations will help you to avoid
using too much detergent, which causes foam to
be produced. Too much foam can reduce your
machine’s performance and increase the length of
the washing cycle and the consumption of water.
•
Detergents for woollens and
delicate fabrics
You are recommended to use an appropriate
detergent for washing these fabrics (avoid
placing such detergents directly on the drum
because they have an aggressive action on
the metal).
•
Before your first wash
Before making your first wash, we recommend that
you carry out a “COTTON 90 wash without pre-
wash” and with no washing in the drum, using a 1/2
measure of your usual detergent in order to
eliminate any residues from manufacturing that may
remain in your machine.
