Using Water Amount of WATER LEVEL • This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically, then sets the WATER LEVEL and displays the amount of detergent to be used. • When you select a wash program, the WATER LEVEL and amount of Detergent (to be used) will be shown on the control panel.
Page 14
Using Detergent Detergent Follow the Detergent package directions. Using too little Detergent is a common cause of laundry problems as is if too much detergent is used. Only 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 drum type, low sudsing high efficiency Detergent(powder,liquid or concentrated).
