Then you can add detergent and start the programme again. (Detergent only reaches the drum when water flushes through the detergent drawer).

●To prevent powdered detergent staying in the drawer:

Dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth.

Make sure the powder isn’t lumpy when you add it.

How much detergent do I use?

This can depend on:

1.How soiled your laundry is

Light soil – no visible stains or marks Normal – light stains and marks visible Heavy soil – large or ground-in stains and

marks

2.The amount of laundry

3.Water hardness
