Which Detergent To Use; Features - Samsung WA5471AB Series User Manual

WHICH DETERGENT TO USE

The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate
items, wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use "low suds" laundry
detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the
degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard your
water is, enquire at your local water authority.
Do not use detergent that has hardended or solidified as the detergent may remain in
the rinse cycle. It may cause your washing machine to not rinse properly or result in the
overflow becoming blocked.
Detergent use
Your Washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.
• For best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergents.
High efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors
that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are
produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning is
maximized.
Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of cleaning. It is important to
pre–treat stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.
