Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a
water softener for washing machines. In
areas where the water hardness is soft it is
not necessary to use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water soft-
ener. Obey the instructions that you find on
the packaging of the product.

Descaling

• Set the cotton programme with the high-
est temperature with a small quantity of
detergent.
