DETERGENT

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT

We recommend the use of domestic detergents, (powder, liquid or concentrated).

Soap flakes or granulated soap powders should not be used in your Smart Drive.

When washing woollens remember to use a detergent suitable for woollens.

HOW MUCH DETERGENT?

For liquid and concentrated detergents, follow the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.

Note: To check you are using the correct amount of detergent, lift the lid of your machine about half-way through the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots of foam may look good but does not contribute to cleaning your clothes. No foam means not enough detergent has been used: soil and lint can settle back on the clothes or the washing machine.

ADDING THE DETERGENT

1.Remove the fabric softener dispenser.

2.Pour detergent down the center of the agitator.

•Some detergents MUST be fully dissolved before adding to your machine to get the best wash results. Check the instructions on the detergent packet.

•Pre-dissolving detergent when washing in cold water can improve its performance.

3.Replace the fabric softener dispenser. (This prevents small articles falling down the center of the agitator.)

SCRUD

Scrud is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within washers when the fabric softener comes into contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the machine. If scrud is allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains on your clothes or an unpleasant smell in your washer.

If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:

•Using fabric softener sparingly.

•When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.

•Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle has finished.

•Clean your machine regularly (refer page 28).

•Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a warm or hot wash at regular intervals eg approximately every 5th wash.

•Fabric softener of a thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a build-up.
