Advice and tips before washing

Detergents

Laundry detergents are available in low-,
normal- and high-sudsing formulas. A deter-
gent´s ability to clean is not relative to the
amount of suds it produces. Excess suds in
a front-loading washer actually interfere with
the cleaning because they cushion the tum-
bling action. Also, high-sudsing detergents
are more difficult to completely rinse out.The
use of anything other than a low-sudsing de-
tergent can cause severe oversudsing, which
could cause suds to backup through the de-
tergent compartment and run down the front
of the washer onto the floor. If oversudsing
occurs, run the wash through one or more
rinse programs until all items are thoroughly
rinsed. Remove the laundry then run the
washer through a Normal wash program to
get rid of any remaining detergent.We recom-
mend that you don't use bleach in your ASKO
washer. The tumbling wash action, tempera-
ture control options, extended wash times
and proper amount of detergent are sufficient
to remove most stains.

Recommended powder detergents

ASKO washers use 50% to 75% less deter-
gent than most other washers. This is be-
cause of their low water consumption and the
fact that all the wash water is repeatedly cir-
culated through the laundry, ensuring that all
the detergent is fully utilized. We recommend
that you use powder detergents made
specifically for front-loading washers. These
are sometimes called HE (High-Efficiency)
detergents. Listed below are some low-
sudsing powder detergents that have been
successfully tested in ASKO washers:
Fab
All
Tide HE
Amway SA8
Fresh Start
Wisk HE
We recommend that you do not use any
powder detergent that doesn't wash complete-
ly out of the detergent drawer.
