• The recommended loads for each
program are indicated in the program
chart. Washing a maximum load
makes the most efficient use of water
and energy. For heavily soiled
laundry, reduce the load size.
16.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available.
Use the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
Do not spray stain remover on garments
near the appliance as it is corrosive to
the plastic parts.
16.3 Detergents type and
quantity of detergent
Low sudsing detergent is required for this
washing machine to prevent oversudsing
problems, unsatisfied washing result and
harm to the appliance. Low sudsing
detergents designed for front load
washing machines are labelled "Front
loading", "high efficiency", "HE" or
"Matic".
Do not use wrong types of detergent,
such as Top Loading, Handwash
detergent or Soap-Based products in
your front-load washing machine. This
can result in excessive suds, longer cycle
time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and
overloading of the motor and, in extreme
cases, suds flowing out of the appliance
with symptoms similar to water leak.
Quantity of detergent to be
used
The choice of detergent and use of
correct quantities not only affects your
wash performance, but also helps to
avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents
contain substances which in large
quantities can upset the delicate balance
of nature.
The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on:
•
type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
cottons, etc);
• the colour of clothes;
• size of the load;
• degree of soil;
• wash temperature; and
• hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified by so-called
"degrees" of hardness.
Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
You may have to try using the detergent
quantity as per manufactures'
instructions then compare the wash
result to the list below and adjust the
amount of detergent for your future
washes accordingly.
Not enough washing powder causes:
• the wash load 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 during
washing.
