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.

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.
