Choosing the right detergent
Your
AquaSmart 2™
is a High Efficiency clothes washer and needs a
Low Sudsing Detergent
to prevent oversudsing problems. This is the same type of detergent Front Loaders use and is
labelled, “Low Suds”, “Matic”, “High Efficiency” or “HE”.
We recommend the use of liquid detergents for best results. This is particularly important when
washing dark garments.
When washing woollens use a wool detergent but use it sparingly as these are usually very high
foaming. Do not use soap flakes or granulated soap powders.
How much detergent?
Use the instructions stated on the detergent label as a guide to the correct amount to use. The
correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes and the
size of your load. Jeans and work clothes may need more and towels less.
If you have over-foaming problems reduce your dosage.
If your clothes are not clean enough, try using a bit more.
Where do I put my detergent?
Pour your detergent into the detergent dispenser,
located on the left side of the washer.
We recommend that you measure your detergent first.
You will notice that most of the detergent placed in
the dispenser will fall into the machine. It will remain in
an area separated from your clothes until the machine
begins to fill. As the washer fills, the dispenser will be
flushed of any residue. The detergent is then mixed with
water, and specially designed ribs at the bottom of the
bowl help to rapidly dissolve the detergent to ensure
optimum wash performance.
