5. Adding detergent
29
There are several options for adding de-
tergent to the washing machine.
Detergent drawer
You can use any detergent that is suit-
able for washing machines.
Detergent dispensing
Please follow the detergent manufac-
turer's instructions in relation to
dosage.
Adding too much detergent will lead
to excessive foaming.
Avoid adding excess detergent.
The amount to dispense will depend on:
– the amount of laundry
– the amount of soiling in the laundry
– the water hardness
