STEP 4: ADD THE DETERGENT AND THE CONDITIONER.
Recommended amount of detergent is usually specifi ed on the detergent packaging. When washing a
smaller amount of laundry, the amount of detergent used can be decreased.
Observe manufacturers' recommendations regarding the type of detergent suitable for certain temperatures,
load size, and water hardness.
When using the ADS (Auto Dose System), the appliance will automatically add the liquid detergent depending
on the amount of laundry and the other selected settings.
Liquid detergents
We don’t recommend liquid detergents because they tend to produce more suds than powder detergents
when used in water temperatures of (150 °F) HOT or higher.
If you should try a liquid detergent, start with a very small amount, such as 1 to 2 tablespoons. Also, liquid
detergent can be used for all programs without prewash, so add it into the main wash compartment.
Liquid detergent in ADS
The washing machine will automatically add the amount of liquid detergent according to the amount of your
laundry and depending on how heavily soiled it is. Before adding the liquid detergent, pull out the dosing
container as far as it will go.
Compartment (A) for liquid detergent for the Colour program.
Compartment (B) for liquid detergent for the Black / White / Sensitive / Other program.
See chapter "SPECIAL FEATURES".
In case of excessive foaming, check the water hardness settings (see chapter "SETTINGS"), how heavily
soiled the laundry is, and the setting for the amount of liquid detergent according to the manufacturer's
recommendations (see chapters "TIPS BEFORE WASHING").
ADS operation has been tested with liquid detergents by the leading global manufactures.
Use of other non-homogenized or homemade liquid detergents can cause malfunction of the ADS.
Any servicing required due to such problems shall not be covered by the warranty.
The washing machine must be switched on before you add the detergent!
Detergents
Laundry detergents are available in low-,
normal- and high-sudsing formulas. A detergent´s ability to clean is not relative to the amount of suds it
produces. Excess suds in a front-loading washer actually interfere with the cleaning because they cushion
the tumbling action. Also, high-sudsing detergents are more diffi cult to completely rinse out. The use of
anything other than a low-sudsing detergent can cause severe oversudsing, which could cause suds to back
up through the detergent compartment and run down the front of the washer onto the fl oor. If oversudsing
occurs, run the wash through one or more rinse programs until all items are thoroughly rinsed. Remove the
laundry then run the washer through a Normal wash program to get rid of any remaining detergent.
We recommend that you don’t use bleach in your ASKO washer. The tumbling wash action, temperature
control options, extended wash times and proper amount of detergent are suffi cient to remove most stains.
Recommended powder detergents
ASKO washers use 50% to 75% less detergent than most other washers. This is because of their low water
consumption and the fact that all the wash water is repeatedly circulated through the laundry, ensuring that
all the detergent is fully utilized. We recommend that you use powder detergents made specifi cally for front-
loading washers. These are sometimes called HE (High-Effi ciency) detergents. Please visit our homepage
www.askona.com to see the powder detergents we recommend for ASKO washers.
We recommend that you do not use any powder detergent that doesn’t wash completely out of the detergent
drawer.
