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