Detergent and fabric softener Detergent type Your WashSmart™ or QuickSmart™ washer requires low sudsing detergent to prevent oversudsing problems. Low sudsing detergent comes in powder, liquid or pod form and is labelled “Front Loading”, “Low Suds”, High Efficiency” or “HE”.
Detergent and fabric softener How much detergent? The correct detergent dosage varies depending on the amount of soil in your load, the size of the load and the water quality, so getting the correct dose takes some trial and error. Use the instructions stated on the detergent label as a guide, then alter the dosage according to the results.

Customising wash cycles After using your washer a few times you may discover there are some wash options you prefer for some cycles. You can programme your washer to remember the wash options you prefer for each wash cycle. For instance, you may want to set the EASY IRON cycle to cold wash temperature or set the EVERYDAY cycle so it gives you Rinse+ every cycle.
Turn off the taps to prevent the chance of flooding should a hose burst. ■ ■ Cleaning your QuickSmart™ or WashSmart™ Before you start cleaning your washer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power (ie unplug the machine from the power socket).
