results or cause heavy load to the motor.
•If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow
the guidelines provided by the detergent
manufacturer.
•You can pour liquid detergent directly into the
main detergent drawer if you are starting the
wash cycle immediately.
•Do not use liquid detergent if you are using
Delay End function, or if you have selected
Pre Wash option, as the liquid may harden.
•Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, size and
soil level of the load. For best results, avoid
oversudsing.
•Refer to the label of the clothes, before choosing
the detergent and water temperature.
•Use only suitable detergents for the respective
type of clothing:
−Liquid detergent is often designed for special
applications, e.g. for coloured fabric, wool,
delicate or dark laundry.
−Powdered detergent is suitable for all types
of fabric.
−For better washing results of white and pale
garments, use powdered detergent with
bleach.
−Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the
beginning of the wash cycle.
NOTE
•Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may
lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or
odour.
•Full load: According to manufacturer’s
recommendation
•Part load: ¾ of the normal amount
•Minimum load: ½ of full load
