washing a load of laundry
Detergent and additives information
Which detergent to use
The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetics, items, Hand Wash For Wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic 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.
Do not use detergent that has hardended or solidified as the detergent may remain in the rinse cycle. It may cause your washing machine to not rinse properly or result in the overflow becoming blocked.
Detergent drawer
Your washing machine has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and fabric softener. Add all laundry additives to the correct compartment before starting your washing machine.
Do NOT open the detergent drawer when your washing machine is running.
1.Pull out the detergent drawer on the left side of the control panel.
2.Add the recommended amount of laundry detergent
directly into the detergent compartment 
before starting your washing machine.
3. Add the recommended amount of fabric softener into the softener compartment 
if required.
Do NOT add any powder/liquid detergent to the softener CAUTION compartment (
).
4. When using the Prewash option, add the recommended amount of laundry detergent into the prewash compartment 
.

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