How much Detergent

When you select a wash Course 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 40 g 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 had 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.

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 if 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.
NOTE
• 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 pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.
