How Much Detergent; Adding The Detergent - LG T1166TEFT1 Owner's Manual

Using detergent
Detergent
Follow the detergent package directions. Using too little etergent is a common cause of laundry problems.
Use more detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower water temperature.
Choosing the right Detergent
We recommend the use of domestic detergent, (powder, liquid or concentrated). Soap flakes or granulated
soap powders should not be used in your washing machine. When washing woolens remember to use
detergent suitable for washing woolens.

How much Detergent

When you select a wash Course the water level and the amount of detergent (to be used) will be shown
on the control panel. The amount of a cup in the diagram is about 40 g for concentrated detergent.
The correct amount of Detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes (Jeans and
work cloches 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 had 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 as clean and 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.
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 oversuding and detergent residue being
left on the clothes.
Note : Using Liquid detergent
- Dilute Liquid detergent with water and pour into the tub, start the cycle.
- Delay wash course is not available if you use liquide detergent.
Attention
Using liquid detergent without diluting , or leaving laundry for a long time after pouring dilute liquid
detergent into the tub might cause damage, bleaching or discoloration of cloth.
