Notes on detergent, bleach, and softener
Detergent
Do not use detergents that foam excessively. The foaming of some detergents may
result in malfunctions (water leakage, electrical shock).
Do not use powder soap made from natural fats and oils. Such soaps may clog the
machine pipeline, resulting in malfunction or water leakage.
When using detergents that foam easily, use slightly less than the recommended
amount.
Bleach
Do not use chlorine-based bleach in programs other than [TUB CLEAN].
Doing so may result in malfunction of the machine.
Softener
Do not dilute concentrated softeners.
Doing so may result in caking and stains.
