Choosing the Right Detergent
Your AquaSmartTM is a High Efficiency clothes washer and needs low sudsing detergent to prevent oversudsing
problems. This is the same type of detergent front loaders use and is labeled “High Efficiency” (HE). There are both
liquid and powdered low sudsing detergents available.
When washing woolens use a wool detergent but use it sparingly as these are usually very high foaming. Do not use
soap flakes or soap powders.
How much Detergent?
Use the manufacturer’s instructions on the detergent packet as a guide to
the correct amount to use. The correct amount of detergent will vary
depending on the amount of soil in your clothes and the size of your load.
For example, jeans may need more and towels less.
As a starting point:
• Use one scoop or cap full for a large load and reduce or increase
the dosage as required.
• For a small load (eg 4 – 5 t-shirts) use 1⁄4 of a scoop or cap full.
If you have oversudsing problems reduce your dosage.
If your clothes are not clean enough, try using a bit more. Fig.17 Adding detergent to the
detergent dispenser
Where do I put my Detergent?
Pour your detergent into the detergent dispenser, located on the left side of the washer. We recommend that you
measure your detergent first according to the manufacturer’s recommended dosage.
You will notice that most of the detergent placed in the dispenser will fall into the washer. It will remain in an area
separated from your clothes until the machine begins to fill. As the washer fills, the dispenser will be flushed of any

residue. The detergent is then mixed with water at the bottom of the outer tub, dissolving and activating it to ensure
optimum wash performance.
When washing in very cold water or on the quicker cycles (eg DELICATE) dissolving the detergent in warm water before
pouring it down the dispenser will improve wash performance.
We do not recommend you use nappy sanitizers or bleach to soak items in your
AquaSmartTM washer. These products are very corrosive to metal surfaces and may
seriously damage your washer.
