Adding detergent
Detergent dosage
• Detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer and
selected according to type, colour, soiling of the fabric and washing temperature.
• If too much detergent is used, too many suds can occur and this will decrease the washing
result or cause heavy load to the motor.
• It is recommended that you use powdered detergent for best results.
• If you wish to use liquid detergent follow guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.
• You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the
cycle immediately.
• Please do not use liquid detergent if you are using 'Time Delay' as the liquid may harden, or
if you have selected 'Pre Wash'.
• If too many suds occur, please reduce the detergent amount.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and
soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.
• Refer to the label of the clothes, before choose the detergent and water temperature.
• To use the washing machine, put the designated detergent only.
- General powdered detergents for all types of fabric (Cold - 95 C)
- Powdered detergents for delicate fabric (Cold - 40 C)
- Liquid detergents for all types of fabric (Cold - 95 C) or designated detergents only for wool
(Cold - 40 C)
• For better washing performance and whitening, use the detergent with the General powdered
bleach.
WARNING
• Do not let the detergent harden.
Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or bad odor.
NOTE
• Full load : according to manufacturer's recommendation.
• Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount.
• Minimum load : 1/2 of full load.
• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.
Adding water softener
Using tablet
1. Open the door and put tablets into the
drum.
• A water softener, such as Anti-limescale (e.g.
Calgon) can be used to cut down on the use of
detergent in extremely hard water areas.
Dispense according to the amount specified on
the packaging. First add detergent and then the
water softener.
• Use the quantity of detergent as for soft water.
2. Load the laundry into the drum and close the
door.
