Choosing the right detergent
Your CleanSmart™ is a High Efficiency clothes washer and needs a Low Sudsing Detergent
to prevent oversudsing problems. This is the same type of detergent Front Loaders use and is
labelled, “Low Suds”, “Matic”, “High Efficiency” or “HE”.
We recommend the use of liquid detergents in most washing situations to achieve the best
results. This is particularly important when washing dark garments.
When washing woollens use a wool detergent but use it sparingly as these are usually very high
foaming. Do not use soap flakes or granulated soap powders.
How much detergent?
Use the instructions stated on the detergent label 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. Jeans and work clothes may need more and towels less.
If you have over-foaming 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.
You will notice that most of the detergent placed in the dispenser
will fall into the machine. 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 machine, dissolving and activating it
to ensure optimum wash performance.
Important!
We do not recommend you use nappy sanitisers or bleach to soak
items in your CleanSmart™ washer. These products are very corrosive
to metal surfaces and may seriously damage your machine.
