Bleach - Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart WL26CW1 Product Information

Bleach

Type
We recommend the use of a detergent with built in bleach. If you do wish to use liquid bleach
please follow the following instructions carefully.
AquaSmart uses only a small volume of water to wash a load of laundry, and because of this
concentrated wash liquor AquaSmart needs only approximately half the recommended dose of
liquid bleach. This gives the same result as a full dose of bleach.
To use liquid bleach select the WHITES cycle and select the BLEACH icon in the wash options
menu. This will allow you to turn Bleach ON. Your washer will automatically pause 9 minutes
into the wash cycle and unlock the lid to allow you to add bleach. This will ensure that bleach is
added to the cycle at the correct time for optimum effectiveness. Pour diluted bleach into the
detergent dispenser, and press START to continue the wash cycle.
Examples of liquid bleach: Clorox, Clorox 2, Clorox 2 powder, Clorox Advantage.
Dosage:
We strongly recommend that our customers use half the dose of bleach that they used in their
previous machines. For example for Clorox liquid use ½ cup, for Clorox 2, use ¾ cap, Clorox
advantage use ½ cup. This is because during the Aquasmart wash, the clothes are in a much
smaller volume of wash liquor. As a result the concentration of the bleach is much higher. You
only need to use half as much to get the same result. For smaller loads even less bleach is
needed. Consistently using too much bleach may decrease the life of your clothes.
Where?
Diluted liquid bleach must be poured into the detergent dispenser, 9 minutes into the wash
cycle, when instructed by the washer. Powdered bleach should be poured into the detergent
