WASH PREPARATION
Selecting the right detergent
z
We recommend using domestic laundry detergent. Use powder or liquid detergent
for‘Top Loader’ washers.
z
When washing wool items, remember to use a detergent specifically
recommended forwoollens.
z
Soap flakes or granulated soap powders should not be used in your washer.
z
Pods — Detergent pods are a ‘no mess’ alternative to powdered or liquid detergent.
Theyshould be placed down the centre of the agitator.
How much detergent?
Follow 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 load, the more detergent
you may have to add.
Adding the detergent
Remove the fabric softener dispenser cup.
Place pod, pour liquid or powder detergent
down the centre of the agitator. Pre-
dissolving detergent in warm water (before
adding it to the machine) when washing in
cold water can improve the performance of
the detergent.
Replace the fabric softener dispenser cup
(this prevents smallarticles falling down the
centre of theagitator).
