Pods
Detergent pods are a 'no mess' alternative to powdered or liquid detergent. They must
be placed at the back of the drum prior to loading your clothes. This will ensure they are
activated quickly in the wash. Do not place pods in the detergent dispenser drawer or
on top of your clothes.
Pre Wash
If you wish to use the 'Pre Wash' option, liquid or powdered detergent must only be
placed in the pre wash detergent compartment on the right hand side of the drawer,
marked with
the start of the cycle. For more information refer to 'Wash cycle options'.

IMPORTANT!
Make sure the detergent dispenser drawer is completely closed before starting the cycle.
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 package as a guide, then alter the
dosage according to the results.
If you overdose, you will get over foaming issues, but if you under-dose you will get
poor performance and over time your washer dryer will start to smell as dirt and bacteria
builds up inside it.
Detergent advice
If your washer dryer smells you are probably not using enough detergent for the soil
1
level in your loads. Run a 'Drum Clean' cycle and either try a better quality detergent
or use a higher dose. If you are using an 'Eco' detergent, alternate the use of this with a
mainstream detergent.
Add the detergent BEFORE starting the cycle, close the dispenser and do not open it
2
while the cycle is running.
If you find foam leaking from your washer dryer, check you are using a low sudsing or
3
front loader type detergent and check the quantity you are using against the detergent
manufacturers recommendation. You may need to reduce the quantity you are using.
