Detergents Type and Quantity of
6.6
Detergent
Low sudsing detergent is required
for this washing machine to prevent
oversudsing problems, unsatisfied
washing result and harm to the
machine. Low sudsing detergents
designed for front load washing
machines are labelled "Front Loading",
"high efficiency", "HE", such as Cold
Power for Front Loaders or "Matic".
Do not use wrong types of detergent,
such as Top Loading, Handwash
detergent or Soap-Based products in
your frontload washing machine. This
can result in excessive suds, longer cycle
time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and
overloading of the motor.
Quantity of detergent to be
used
The choice of detergent and use of
correct quantities not only affects your
washing performance, but helps to avoid
waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents
contain substances which, in large
quantities, can upset the delicate
balance of nature.
The choice and quantity of
detergent will depend on ;
type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
cottons, etc.) ;
the colour of clothes ;
size of the load ;
degree of soiling ;
washing temperature ; and
hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified by
so-called "degrees" of hardness.
Information on hardness of the water
in your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or
from your local authority.
You may have to try using the
detergent quantity as per the product
manufacturers' instructions then
compare the washing result to the list
below and adjust the amount of
detergent for the next time accordingly.
Not enough washing powder
causes:
the washload to turn grey,
greasy clothes.
Too much washing powder causes:
sudsing,
reduced washing effect,
inadequate rinsing.
Use less detergent if:
you are washing a small load,
the laundry is lightly soiled,
large amounts of foam during
washing.
NOTE:
Use only low sudsing front load
type detergents and REDUCE
the amount of detergent if
oversudsing occurs.
Due to the "JetMix System" feature,
which enhances detergent
activation, you can SAVE ON
DETERGENT dosage. It is
recommended to use only half the
amount of your usual detergent. If
SUD is full on glass door or
overfoaming occurs, it means the
detergent dosage is still above
the necessary quantity. In such a
situation, please reduce the
dosage accordingly
