How much Detergent
Using Detergent
Using Liquid Bleach
When you select a wash program the WATER LEVEL and the amount of Detergent (to be used) will be shown on
the control panel. The amount of a cup in the diagram is about 40g for concentrated Detergent.
The correct amount of Detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes (Jeans and work cloches
may need more Detergent, while bath towels usually need less.).
For liquid and concentrated Detergents, follow the recommendations of the Detergent manufacturer.
Note: To check you are using the correct amount of Detergent, lift the lid of your machine about half-
way through the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water.
Lots of foam may look good, but it does not contribute to cleaning your clothes.
No foam means not enough Detergent has been used; soil and lint can settle back on the clothes
or the washing machine.
If excess Detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient. Also, it could cause
environmental pollution, so use it accordingly.
Open the Detergent dispenser and deposit the appropriate amount of
Detergent.
Some Detergents MUST be fully dissolved before adding to your machine to
get the best wash results.
Check the instructions on the Detergent packet.
If you use powdered Detergent it is essential that the required amount be fully
dissolved in very HOT water before being added to WARM or HOT water for
the actual wash.
Pre-dissolving Detergent in WARM water when washing in COLD water can
improve its performance.
• Check clothing care label for special instructions and separate the
laundry to be bleached

into bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling.
Powdered bleach should be mixed with water before pouring.
Attention
Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
This may cause change of color or damage the laundry.
