Be sure all pockets are empty, buttons and
zips fastened. Avoid washing frayed or
torn articles, and treat stains such as
paint, ink, rust and grass before washing
(see page 26).
Once the machine is loaded close the door
firmly. Then put the washing powder and
conditioner (if required) into the
dispenser.
Choosing the right washing powder
Always use a low lather powder. This is
important as too much lather prevents
the articles from tumbling freely and
being properly cleansed. Ariel Automatic
is specially designed to complement the
cleaning action of the machine.
Filling with washing powder
The washing powder dispenser has three
compartments (figure 6). Compartment
'a' is for the prewash powder, 'b' for the
main wash powder, and 'c' for fabric
conditioner. The same wash powder can
be used for the pre and main wash cycles.
Pull out the dispenser and add the
measured amount of powder, following
the directions on the wash powder packet
(see also Table which follows). Be sure to
use enough powder - this is essential to
get the clothes really clean. Once the
dispenser is filled, close it by pushing it in
gently. This is particularly important if
you are using fabric conditioner
because if the drawer is slammed it will
cause the conditioner to enter the
machine prematurely.
For information regarding the degrees of
hardness of water in your area, ask the
local Water Authority.
