Detergent Dosage
• Detergent should be selected according to fabric
type, colour, soil level and washing temperature

manufacturer’s instructions.

which cause poor washing.
• When you 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
wash cycle immediately. It is also recommended
that it be added into the drum when loading the
clothes.
• Do not use liquid detergent if you are using delay
or pre-wash function as the liqluid may harden.
• Reduce the amount of detergent if too many
suds are formed.

water temperature, water hardness, size and soil
level of the laundry. For best results, avoid
oversudsing.
