Detergent

Choosing The Right Detergent

We recommend using domestic detergents, (powder, liquid or tablets).

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 detergent recommended by the New Zealand Wool Board or Australian Wool Corporation.

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.

Adding the Detergent

Tablets:

Place the required number of tablets down the centre of the agitator.

(DO NOT use the bag provided with the tablet products).

For low water level loads (i.e. washing 2 or 3 garments) do not place the tablet down the agitator. Instead place directly into the machine before adding your clothes.

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.

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

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