THE DETERGENT DRAWER
The detergent drawer on ASKO washers automatically dispenses the detergent and
fabric softener at the appropriate times. The drawer is located to the left of the control
panel. Simply pull the drawer out and pour the measured amounts of detergent and
softener into the proper compartments (as illustrated) and close the drawer.
If you use liquid detergent, you will need to use the main wash compartment partition
packaged with your washer. (See your
Use and Care Guide
.)
DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER AMOUNTS
Because ASKO washers use less water than conventional top-loading washers, you need less detergent and fabric softener. We recommend
that you use a low-sudsing
powder
detergent only, preferably a high-efficiency (HE) detergent designed specifically for front-loading washers.
(Liquid detergents tend to suds more, which make them more difficult to rinse out.)
Detergent
The amount of detergent needed varies, depending on the detergent you use. For high-efficiency detergent specifically for
front-loading washers, you should use the amounts recommended by the manufacturer. For regular laundry detergent,
1 to 3 tablespoons of
detergent is all you need for a normal wash load
. More heavily soiled items, however, may need slightly more detergent. Also, the amount
of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. (Refer to your
Use and Care Guide
for more details.) If you choose to use
a liquid detergent, start out with a very small amount, such as one or two tablespoons.
Fabric Softener
We recommend that you use only 2 tablespoons of fabric softener
.
If more softening is desired, try using slightly more
with the next load.
Prewash detergent
Main wash
detergent
Fabric
softener
We recommend that you dont use bleach in your ASKO washer.
The tumbling wash action, temperature control options and
extended wash times are sufficient to remove most stains.
NOTE:
The detergent drawer is equipped with an optional
child safety catch. (See your
Use and Care Guide
.)
