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 result in poor washing 

results or cause heavy load to the motor.

 

If you wish to use liquid detergent follow the 

guidelines provided by the detergent 

manufacturer.

 

You can pour liquid detergent directly into the 

main detergent drawer if you are starting the 

cycle immediately.

 

Do not use liquid detergent if you are using 

Time delay, or if you have selected Pre Wash, 

as the liquid may harden.

 

If too many suds occur, 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 

choosing the detergent and water 

temperature.

 

When using the washing machine, use 

designated detergent for each type of clothing 

only:

 

General powdered detergents for all types of 

fabric

 

Powdered detergents for delicate fabric

 

Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or 

designated detergents only for wool

 

For better washing performance and 

whitening, use detergent with the general 

powdered bleach.

 

Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the 

beginning of the cycle.

 

Dilute liquid detergent with water and pour into 

the drum, start the cycle.

 

Using liquid detergent without diluting, or 

leaving laundry for a long time after pouring 

diluted liquid detergent into the drum might 

cause damage, bleaching or discoloration of 

cloth.

NOTE

 

Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may 

lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or 

odour.

 

Full load : According to manufacturer’s 

recommendation.

 

Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount

 

Minimum load : 1/2 of full load

Adding Detergent

 

Follow the detergent package directions. 

Using too little detergent is a common cause 

of laundry problems. Use more detergent if 

you have hard water, large loads, greasy or 

oily soils or lower water temperature.

 

Soap flakes or granulated soap powders 

should not be used in your washing machine.

When washing woolens, remember to use 

detergent suitable for washing woolens.

NOTE

 

Too much detergent, bleach or softener may 

cause an overflow.
