Adding Detergents and
Softeners
Detergent Dosage
• Detergent should be used according to the
instruction of the detergent manufacturer and
selected according to type, colour, soiling of the
fabric and the washing temperature. Use only
detergents that are suitable for Drum (front
load) type washers.
• If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent
amount.
• If too much detergent is used, too many suds
can occur and this will result in poor washing
results or cause heavy load to the motor.
• If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow the
guidelines provided by the detergent
manufacturer.
• You can pour liquid detergent directly into the
main detergent drawer if you are starting the
wash cycle immediately.
• Do not use liquid detergent if you have selected
Prelavado (Pre Wash) option, as the liquid will
dispense immediately and may harden in the
drawer or the tub.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, size and soil
level of the load. For best results, avoid
overdosing the detergent. Failing to do so will
cause oversudsing.
• Refer to the label of the clothes, before adding
the detergent and choosing the water
temperature.
• Use only suitable detergents for the respective
type of clothing:
- Liquid detergent is often designed for special
applications, e.g. for coloured fabric, wool,
delicate or dark clothes.
- Powdered detergent is suitable for all types of
fabric.
- For better washing results of white and pale
garments, use powdered detergent with
bleach.
- Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the
beginning of the wash cycle.
NOTE
• Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may
lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or
odour.
• Full load: According to manufacturer's
recommendation.
• Part load: 1/2 of the normal amount.
• Minimum load: 1/3 of full load.

drawer while closing.
