Detergent and fabric softener
How much detergent?
The correct detergent dosage varies depending on the amount of soil in your load, the size of
the load and the water quality, so getting the correct dose takes some trial and error. Use the
instructions stated on the detergent label as a guide, then alter the dosage according to the results.
If you overdose, you will get over foaming issues, but if you under-dose you will get poor
performance and over time your washer will start to smell as scum builds up inside it.
Detergent advice
1
If your washer smells you are probably not using enough detergent for the soil level in your
loads. Run a DRUM CLEAN cycle and either buy a better quality detergent or use a higher dose. If
you are using an ‘Eco’ detergent, alternate the use of this with a mainstream detergent.
2
Add the detergent BEFORE starting the cycle, close the dispenser and do not open it while the
cycle is running.
3
If you find foam leaking from your washer, check you are using a low sudsing or front loader
type detergent and check the quantity you are using against the detergent manufacturers
recommendation. You may need to reduce the amount you are using.
Fabric softener
Fabric softener is added to the middle compartment of the dispenser marked with a .
The washer will automatically flush the softener during the rinse.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend to:
1
Use it sparingly. Measure it carefully and do not use more than 25 mls (½ cap) (some thicker
varieties may need diluting).
2
Clean your dispenser regularly.
3
Clean your machine regularly using the DRUM CLEAN cycle.
4
Complete wash cycles at a wash temperature of 40°C or above at regular intervals (eg every 5th
wash) as washing in cold water increases the chance of scrud occurring (see below).
Note: if you fill beyond the MAX mark, the fabric softener will be dispensed into the bowl
prematurely and contribute to scrud.
Scrud
Scrud is the name of the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when fabric softener
comes in contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the machine. If
scrud is allowed to build up in the machine it can result in stains on clothes and an unpleasant
smell in your washer.
