STEP 6 Apply a proper detergent
type
The type of detergent depends on the type
of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items,
wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree
of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry
detergent, which is designed for automatic
washing machines.
CAUTION
•
Use an appropriate amount of detergent.
Excess amounts of detergent do not
produce much improvement in washing
results but cause damage to the laundry
due to deteriorated rinsing performance.
•
Bleach is strong alkali in nature, causing
damage to or discolouration of the
laundry.
•
Use a longer or added rinse cycle
when using powder detergent that is
very likely to remain on the laundry
and cause bad odours after washing is
complete.
•
If an excessive amount of detergent
is used especially in cold water, the
detergent doesn’t dissolve well, ending
up with contaminated laundry, hoses,
and/or tub.
•
In case of timed washing, do not apply
detergent directly to laundry or the tub.
The laundry may be discoloured. Use the
detergent drawer.
•
When washing wool using the Wool
cycle, use only a neutral detergent to
avoid discolouring the laundry.
NOTE
• Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations based on the weight
of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and
the hardness of the water in your local
area. If you are not sure about the water
hardness, contact a local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to be
hardened or solidified. This detergent
may remain after the rinse process,
blocking the drain outlet.
