Detergent
Choosing the right detergent
We recommend using domestic detergent, (powder or liquid).
Soap flakes or granulated soap powders should not be used in your Smart Drive™, eg Lux Soap Flakes.
When washing woollens remember to use a recommended detergent.
How much detergent?
Use the instructions on the back of the detergent packet as a guide to the correct amount of detergent to use. The correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes and the size of your load. Jeans and work clothes may need more detergent, while towels usually need less. The larger your machine, the more detergent you may have to add.

Liquid or powdered detergents
1Remove fabric softener dispenser.
2Pour liquid or powdered detergent down the centre 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.
3Replace fabric softener dispenser (this prevents small articles falling down the centre of the agitator).
