How much Detergent
Using Detergent
Using Liquid Bleach
When you select a wash program the WATER LEVEL and the amount of Detergent (to be used) will be shown on
the control panel. The amount of a cup in the diagram is about 40g for concentrated 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.
Open the Detergent dispenser and deposit the appropriate amount of
Detergent where you deposit the Detergent Powder Detergent dispenser.
Some Detergents MUST be fully dissolved before adding to your
machine to get the best wash results.
Check the instructions on the Detergent packet.
If you use powdered Detergent it is essential that the required amount be
fully dissolved in very HOT water before being added to WARM or HOT
water for the actual wash.
Pre-dissolving Detergent in WARM water when washing in COLD water
can improve its performance.
• 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.
Attention
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 mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. 
Mixing can reduce a toxic gas which may cause death.
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.

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.
Using Fabric Softener
Note
Available Fabric Softener Type
• Do not use concentrated fabric softener. This may cause some problems in automatic dispensing.
• For more details refer to the softener products instructions for use.
Depositing Fabric Softener
• Don't use softener with detergent. 
Use softener in last rinse water
• When using dispenser, dilute softener (30ml)
with fresh water (30ml)
• When filling dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
It may stain clothes.
• Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes.
It may stain them
• If spotting occurs, wet and rub with hand dishwashing
liquid (or mild bar soap) and rewash.

• Read and comply with all instructions on stain removal products.
• Keep stain removal products in their original labeled containers and out of children’s reach.
