DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES INFORMATION
Which detergent to use
The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is designed for front load washing machines.
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard your water is, enquire at your local water authority.
To ensure maximum cleaning results, it is recommended that powdered detergent should be thoroughly dissolved in a small amount of water before adding to the machine.
Do not use detergent that has hardened or solidifi ed as the detergent may remain in the rinse cycle. It may cause your washing machine to not rinse properly or result in the overfl ow becoming blocked.
Please note the following when using the Wool course.
•Use a neutral liquid detergent for wool only.
•When using a powder detergent, it may remain on the laundry and cause damage to the material (wool).

.
When washing large items do NOT use the following detergent types.
MAX

•Detergents using a ball and net
Concentrated or thick fabric softener and conditioner must be diluted with a little water before being poured into the dispenser (prevents the overfl ow from becoming blocked.)
Be careful that the fabric softener does not overfl ow, when you close the detergent drawer after adding fabric softener into the rinse detergent compartment.
