How much Detergent
Adding 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 has
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.
Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Detergent is flushed through the dispenser at the beginning of the wash phase. Either powdered or liquid detergent
can be used.
When using liquid detergent, make sure the detergent box and insert are in place. For powdered detergent, remove both
the detergent box and insert. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the detergent box and insert in place.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.
Avoid using too much detergent in your washer, as it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on
the clothes.

Choosing the right Detergent
Using Detergent
Using Detergent
Follow the Detergent package directions. Using too little Detergent is a common cause of laundry problems.
Use more Detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower Water Temperature.
We recommend the use of domestic Detergent, (powder, liquid or concentrated). Soap flakes or granulated soap
powders should not be used in your washing machine. When washing woolens remember to use Detergent
suitable for washing woolens.

Scrud (Waxy Build up)
Scrud is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when the fabric softener comes into
contact with Detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the machine. 
If scrud is allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains on your clothes or an unpleasant smell in
your washer.
• Using fabric softener sparingly.
• When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
• Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle is finished.
• Clean your machine regularly.
• Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a regular WARM or HOT wash
e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a warm one.
• Fabric softener of thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a build-up.
Attention
Do not mix with Detergent or bleach.
Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them.
Do not stop the washer during the first spin for timely dispensing.
Option washing is not designed to be used with fabric softener dispenser.
Using Liquid Bleach
Using Fabric Softener
• 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.
If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener
into the right-hand compartment.
Use only liquid fabric softener.
Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener, which
could stain clothes.
NOTE : 
Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load. It
may stain the clothes.
Bleach dispenser
(           )
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.
Note
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend
Follow fabric care label 
instructions
