Detergent Amount Recommendations
•Use only a low sudsing detergent, one or two table- spoons (maximum) of the standard powder detergent or liquid equivalent.
•The degree of soil will change detergents amounts. For heavier soiled loads, increase the amount of deter- gent used, for lightly soiled loads decrease the amount of detergent used.
•If water is extremely hard, detergent should be increased. Reduced detergent amounts should be used in soft water (under 3.5 grains per gallon).
•If garments have been
•If the previous machine owned was a top loader, the initial wash loads in a front loader may require a reduced amount of detergent until the detergent remaining in the clothes is removed. Old detergent trapped in the garments will be released during the tumble action wash cycle.
Detergent will be flushed automatically into the machine from the detergent dispenser. The suds level should never rise more than halfway up the porthole. Too much foam will not only impede the wash action of your machine but will rinse through the detergent dispenser and make a mess on the floor!
If this should happen clear excessive suds by setting the timer to the beginning of the first rinse and allow the machine to rinse out.
Bleach
Bleach functions to whiten clothes, remove certain problem stains, to deodorize and in some cases to sanitize; however bleaching is not a substitute for good laundry techniques. Bleach only during the wash cycle. Bleach should never be added to the rinse water. Always dilute bleach before using.
To add bleach, open detergent dispenser door and pour it in compartment “C” front left.
WARNING: Under no circumstances overfill the bleach dispenser. Excessive bleach will run directly into the machine, and may damage the clothes.
Liquid Fabrics Softeners
All fabrics, particularly towels and diapers, benefit from the use of fabric conditioners in the final rinse. Items of laundry feel softer, are more easily ironed and the clinging affect of synthetics is considerably reduced. We recommend using a
Add one to two tablespoons of softener to the “Additives” compartment “D” of the detergent dispenser. Under no circumstances overfill, as the softener will immediately siphon into the machine and in so doing impair the wash results.
