Choosing the Right Detergent
• We recommend powdered detergent for the detergent box.
• Soap or granulated soap powders should not be used in your washing machine to prevent build-up.
• When washing woolens, remember to use a detergent suitable for washing woolens.
Amount of Detergent
• Follow the directions on the detergent package.
• Using too little detergent is a common cause of performance problems.
• Use more detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils, or lower water temperature.
• The correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes.
(Jeans and work clothes may need more detergent while bath towels need less.)
• For liquid and concentrated detergent, follow the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.
To see if you are using the correct amount of detergent, lift the lid of your washer about half-way during
the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots of foam seems to be
good, but it does not contribute to washability. No foam means not enough detergent has been used; soil
and lint can settle back on the clothes or the washing machine.
Attention
If excessive detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient.
Also, it could cause environmental pollution, so measure and add detergent accordingly.
Adding the Detergent
• Some detergents MUST be fully dissolved before adding to your machine to get the best wash results.
Check the instructions on the detergent package.
• If you add powdered detergent to the wash tub directly, it is essential that the required amount be fully
dissolved in 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.
• Pull out the detergent box and deposit the
appropriate amount of detergent .
