AEG 7200 User Manual

Instructions for use

17

Use only washing detergents and care agents which are suitable for use 
in washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

The amount to be used depends on:
• the dirtiness of the washing
• the hardness category of the mains water supply
• the filling quantity

2 

If the detergent manufacturer gives no details of the dosing quantities 
for minimum loads, add one third less for half loads and, in the case of 
very small loads and for EASY IRON (STRIJKVRIJ, SANS REPASSAGE), 
only half the amount of detergent recommended for a full load.

Refer to the detergent/care agent manufacturer's instructions on use 
and dosage.

For medium to high water hardness (hardness category II or higher) you 
should use water softener. Pay attention to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Always then meter detergent for hardness category I (= soft). The 
responsible water works can provide information on the local water 
hardness.

Since the water softener is added before the main washing detergent, 
(water pre-softening), eighty percent of the softener quantity stated on 
the package is sufficient.

1.3 - 2.5

III – hard

14 - 21
