WASH PREPARATION
Selecting the right detergent
z
We recommend using domestic laundry detergent. Use powder or liquid detergent for
‘Top Loader’ machines.
z
When washing wool items, remember to use a detergent specifically
recommended for woollens.
z
Soap flakes or granulated soap powders should not be used in your washer.
z
Pods – Detergent pods are a ‘no mess’ alternative to powdered or liquid detergent. They
must be placed in the bowl before loading your clothes.
How much detergent?
Follow the instructions on the back of the detergent packet as a guide to the correct
amount of detergent 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 detergent, while towels usually need less. The larger your load, the more detergent
you may have to add.
Adding the detergent
Remove the fabric softener dispenser cup.
Pour liquid or powder detergent down
the centre of the agitator. Pre-dissolving
detergent in warm water (before adding it to
the machine) when washing in cold water can
improve the performance of the detergent.
Replace the fabric softener dispenser cup
(this prevents small articles falling down the
centre of the agitator).
