Detergents And Additives - Whirlpool WWDC 6400 Instructions For Use Manual

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

Choice of the right detergents and
additives:
The type of detergent depends on:
- Type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,
delicate items, wool).
- Colour.
- Washing temperature.
- Degree and type of soiling.
• Use only specific detergents for wool and
garments made of microfibres (like sports or
swimwear).
• Do not use liquid detergents when activating the
"Start delay" function (if available on your
machine).
• Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash
when activating the "Prewash" option or
selecting a programme with "Prewash" (if
available on your model).
• Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by
insoluble detergents components used in
modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If
you notice this problem, shake or brush the
affected items or use liquid detergents.
• Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place
out of the reach of children.
• Use only detergents and additives specifically
produced for domestic washing machines.
• If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches,
make sure that they are suitable for washing
machine use.
• Descaler could contain components that can
damage parts of your washing machine.
• Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc.).
• Do not machine wash fabrics that have been
treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

• Laundry detergent for prewash and main wash
• Laundry detergent for main wash without prewash

Dosage
Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in
relation to:
- The degree and type of soiling.
- The size of the load.
- Water hardness in your area (ask for
information from your water company): soft
water requires less detergent than hard water.
• Too much detergent can result in excess foam
formation, and the reduction of washing efficiency.
If the washing machine detects excessive foam it
may prevent spinning.
• Insufficient detergent may result in:
grey laundry, deposits on the drum, tub and
heater.
• When using concentrated fabric softeners, add
water in the detergents dispenser up to "MAX"
level mark.
• To prevent dispensing problems when using
highly concentrated powder and liquid
detergents, use the special detergent ball or bag
supplied with the detergent and place it inside
the drum.
