electricity supply is restored.
A successful wash also depends on the correct amount of
detergent being used, as recommended by the manufacturer.
Exceeding the recommended amount does not result in a
more effective wash and pollutes the environment.
 To obtain the best results from each washing and drying cy-
cle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be
used.
