If you use pre-treatment sprays or
stain removers, apply them to the
clothing well away from your
washing machine.
PRE-TREATMENT SPRAYS
AND STAIN REMOVERS
Pre-treatment sprays and stain
remover can damage plastic
components on your washing
machine.
DETERGENT
Wash bras, pantyhose and other
delicates in a mesh laundry bag,
which you can purchase from
your supermarket.
WARNING!
Don’t use the wrong type of detergent.
You must use a low sudsing detergent
designed for front load washing
machines or high efficiency top
loaders, such as Cold Power for Front
Loaders and High Efficiency Top
Loaders or detergents labelled “Matic”.
Don’t use soap-based products in
your washing machine.
Don’t use too much detergent. This
can result in excessive suds that can
cause low spin speeds, poor rinsing
and overloading the motor during spin
stages of the wash program.
Don’t use too little detergent because
you will get a poor wash. If you think
you need more, increase dosages by
only small amounts to avoid excessive
suds.
Quantity of detergent to be used
Good washing results also depend
on the choice of detergent and use
of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, deter-
gents contain substances which, in
large quantities, can upset the
delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will
depend on the type of fabric
(delicates, cottons, etc.),
the colour, washing temperature
and degree of soiling.
The type and quantity of detergent will
depend on the type of fabric, load size,
degree of soiling and hardness of the
water used.
Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’
instructions on quantities to use.
Not enough washing powder causes:
the washload to turn grey, greasy
clothes.
Too much washing powder causes:
sudsing, reduced washing effect,
inadequate rinsing.
Use less detergent if: you are washing
a small load, the laundry is lightly
soiled, large amounts of foam form
during washing.
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness.
Remove hooks or tie them up in
a bag or net.
