Using Detergent
How much Detergent
The correct amount of Detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes (Jeans and work
clothes may need more Detergent, while bath towels usually need less).
For liquid and concentrated Detergents, follow the recommendations of the Detergent manufacturer.
Note : To check you are using the correct amount of Detergent, lift the lid of your machine about half-
way through the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots of
foam may look good, but it does not contribute to cleaning your clothes. No foam means not enough
Detergent has been used, soil and lint can settle back on the clothes or the washing machine.
If excess Detergent is used, the rinse will not be efficient. Also, it could cause environmental
pollution, so use it accordingly.
Adding the detergent
Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.
We recommend the use of powdered detergent in the dispenser when using a
delay wash function.
Detergent is flushed through the dispenser at the beginning of the wash phase.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness,
size and soil level of the load.
Avoid using too much detergent in your washer, as it can lead to oversudsing and
detergent residue being left on the clothes.
Using Liquid Bleach
• Check clothing care label for special instructions and separate
the laundry to be bleached.
• Dilute liquid chlorine bleach.
• Measure the recommended amount of liquid bleach carefully
following instructions on the bottle.
• Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach
directly into bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling.
Powdered bleach should be mixed with water before pouring.
NOTE
Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
n
This may cause change of color or damage the laundry.
n Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover.
Mixing can release a toxic gas which may cause death.
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.
