Using Detergent 
How much detergent 
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.
Adding the detergent
Open the detergent dispenser and deposit the appropriate 
amount of detergent 
where you deposit the detergent
Powder Detergent dispenser.
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.
Depositing Bleach
• Separate the laundry to be bleached. 
• Measure powdered bleach carefully, following instructions on the box.
• Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser. 
Available Bleach Type
Using Bleach 
Use oxygenated bleach.
Do not use liquid bleach.
For more details refer to the products instruction for use.
Check fabric care labels for special instructions.
Attention
■ Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
This may affect colors or damage clothing.
■ Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover.
Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.
■ Do not pour liquid bleach into bleach dispenser.
