Fabric Softeners; Recommended Wash Temperatures - Asko W600 Guía De Uso Y Cuidado

Detergent Amounts Based on Water Hardness
The amount of detergent needed can vary due to
differences in water hardness. To determine the water
hardness in your area, contact your local water utility or
area water softening company. The harder the water,
the more detergent you may need. Refer to the chart
below for the recommended detergent amounts based
on water hardness. Remember, you should adjust the
amount of detergent you use by small amounts until
you find the correct amount.
Note that 12 grains and higher is extremely hard water
and detergent alone may not be enough. You may need

from the washer then pressed out in a terry towel to remove excess water before being hung up or laid flat to dry.

to use a water softener to maximize the performance of
your washer. Also, in areas with extremely hard water
(9+) you may need to wash at lower temperatures to
prevent hard water deposits from forming in the tank
and wash system.
Different brands of detergent have different amounts of
phosphorous for softening water. If you have hard water
and use a detergent with less than 8.7% phosphorous
content, you may need to use more detergent or use a
detergent with a higher phosphorous content.
