Which detergent to use
The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetics, items,
Hand Wash For Wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds”
laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines.
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 area. If you do not know how hard your
water is, enquire at your local water authority.
Do not use detergent that has hardended or solidified as the detergent may remain in
the rinse cycle. It may cause your washing machine to not rinse properly or result in the
overflow becoming blocked.
Please note the following when using the Wool course.
• Use a neutral liquid detergent for wool only.
• When using a powder detergent, it may remain on the laundry and cause damage to the
material (wool).
Detergent drawer
Your washing machine has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and fabric softener.
Add all laundry additives to the correct compartment before starting your washing machine.
Do NOT open the detergent drawer when your washing machine is running.
1. Pull out the detergent drawer on the left side of the control panel.
2. Add the recommended amount of laundry detergent
directly into the detergent compartment before starting
your washing machine.
3. Add the recommended amount of fabric softener into the
softener compartment if required.
Do NOT add any powder/liquid detergent to the softener
compartment ( ).
4. When using the Prewash option, add the recommended
amount of laundry detergent into the prewash
compartment .
When washing large items do NOT use the following
detergent types.
• Tablet and capsule type detergents
• Detergents using a ball and net
Concentrated or thick fabric softener and conditioner
must be diluted with a little water before being poured
into the dispenser (prevents the overflow from becoming
blocked.)
Be careful that the fabric softener does not overflow, when you close the detergent drawer
after adding fabric softener into the rinse detergent compartment.
