Using Detergent
How much detergent
When you select a wash program 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 40g 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 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 as clean and efficient. Also, it could cause
environmental pollution, so use it accordingly.
Attentión
Adding the detergent
Open the detergent dispenser and deposit the appropriate
amount of detergent where you deposit the detergent.
Powder Detergent dispenser.
Some detergents MUST be fully dissolved before
adding to your machine to get the best wash results.
Check the instructions on the detergent packet.
If you use powdered detergent it is essential that the required amount be fully dissolved in very hot water
before being added to warm or hot water for the actual wash.
Pre-dissolving detergent in warm water when washing in cold water can improve its performance.
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.
Attention
Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
This may cause change of color or damage the laundry.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover.
Mixing can reduce a toxic gas which may cause death.
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.
