Fisher & Paykel GW711 - Detergent Usage and Application; Choosing and Adding Detergent Properly

DETERGENT
22
CHOOSING THE RIGHT
DETERGENT
We recommend using domestic
detergents, [powder, liquid or
tablets].
Soap flakes or granulated soap
powders should not be used in your
Smart Drive eg Lux Soap Flakes.
When washing woollens remember
to use a detergent recommended by
the New Zealand Wool Board or
Australian Wool Corporation.
HOW MUCH DETERGENT?
Use the instructions on the back of
the detergent packet as a guide to
the correct amount of detergent 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 detergent, while
towels usually need less. The larger
your machine the more detergent,
you may have to add.
ADDING THE DETERGENT
Liquid or Powdered Detergents:
1. Remove fabric softener dispenser.
2. Pour liquid or powdered detergent down
the centre of the agitator.
• Some detergents MUST be fully dissolved
before adding to your machine to get the
best wash results. Check the instructions
on the detergent packet.
• Pre-dissolving the detergent when washing
in cold water can improve its
performance.
3. Replace fabric softener dispenser. (This
prevents small articles falling down the
centre of the agitator).

Tablets: Place the
required number of
tablets down the centre
of the agitator.
(DO NOT use the bag
provided with the tablet
products).
For the low water level
loads (i.e. washing 2 or
3 garments) do not
place tablets down the
agitator. Instead place
directly into the
machine before adding
your clothes.
