Refer to the Stain Removal Chart for treatment of specific stains. If an entire item is heavily soiled or very stained, it may be both easier and more effective to prewash the item before laundering than to pretreat every spot.
Prewashing
Prewash excessively soiled clothes, such as work or children’s clothes.
They often get very soiled. Prewashing with detergent will help loosen the soil.
Laundry aids
Detergents are the most popular cleaning agents for home laundry.
Using too little detergent results in poor wash quality, while using too much causes excessive suds and poor rinsing. Detergents not only remove soil, but also hold it in suspension in the wash water to prevent redepositing it on the wash load. The amount to use depends on wash load size, amount of soil, water hardness and detergent type.
ALWAYS measure the amount of detergent. The amount of suds formed is not necessarily an indication of how much to use. Some detergents form a great amount of suds, others only a few. Use only detergents suitable for front loading washers.
LAUNDRY AIDS
1.Use only low sudsing detergent.
2.The degree of soil will change detergent amounts. For heavier soiled loads, increase the amount of detergent used.
3.If water is extremely hard, detergent should be increased. Less detergent should be used in soft water.
4.If garments have been pretreated, decrease the amount of detergent. If garments have ben heavily pretreated, it may not be necessary to add detergent.
5.If the previous machine owned was a top loader, the initial washloads in a front loader may require a reduced quantity 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.
For quantities of detergent to be used, refer to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions on the box.
Detergent will be flushed automatically into the machine from the detergent dispenser. The suds level should never rise more than halfway up to the porthole. Too much foam will not impede the wash action of your machine but will rise 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.
Bleaches
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 should never be added to the rinse water. Always dilute bleach before using.
To add bleach, open detergent dispenser door and pour in compartment 4 (see page 12 and
WARNING:
Under no circumstances overfill the bleach dispenser. Excessive bleach will run directly into the machine and may possibly damage the clothes.
Fabric Softener
All fabrics, particularly towels, 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.
Pour the softener into “Additives” compartment of the detergent dispenser to the level indicated on the syphon. Under no circumstances overfill, as the softener will immediately syphon into the machine and in so doing, impair the wash results.
