Electrolux LAVAMAT 76650 A3 - Handbuch (Seite 15)

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.
