Detergent
Choosing the right detergent
Your AquaSmart™ is a High Efficiency clothes washer and needs low sudsing detergent to
prevent oversudsing problems. This is the same type of detergent front loaders use and is
labelled “High Efficiency” (HE). There are both liquid and powdered low sudsing detergents
available.
When washing woollens use a wool detergent but use it sparingly as these are usually very high
foaming. Do not use soap flakes or soap powders.
How much detergent?
Use the manufacturer’s instructions on the detergent packet as a
guide to the correct amount to use. The correct amount of detergent
will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes and the
size of your load. For example, jeans may need more and towels less.
As a starting point:
■ ■
Use one scoop or cap full for a large load and reduce or increase the
dosage as required.
■ ■
For a small load (eg 4 – 5 t-shirts) use ¼ of a scoop or cap full.
If you have oversudsing problems reduce your dosage.
If your clothes are not clean enough, try using a bit more.
Where do I put my detergent?
Pour your detergent into the detergent dispenser, located on the left side of the washer.
We recommend that you measure your detergent first according to the manufacturer’s
recommended dosage.
You will notice that most of the detergent placed in the dispenser will fall into the washer. It will
remain in an area separated from your clothes until the machine begins to fill. As the washer
fills, the dispenser will be flushed of any residue. The detergent is then mixed with water at the
bottom of the outer tub, dissolving and activating it to ensure optimum wash performance.
When washing in very cold water or on the quicker cycles (eg DELICATE) dissolving the detergent
in warm water before pouring it down the dispenser will improve wash performance.
Important!
We do not recommend you use nappy sanitizers or bleach to soak items in your AquaSmart™
washer. These products are very corrosive to metal surfaces and may seriously damage your
washer.
