Using starch
• Add liquid starch, powder starch or fabric
dye into the softener compartment.
• Do not use softener and starch together in
a washing cycle.
• Wipe the inside of the machine with a
damp and clean cloth after using starch.
Using limescale remover
• When required, use limescale removers
manufactured specifically for washing
machines only.
Detergent
• Add a measured amount of detergent to
the detergent drawer.
• Use only detergent specifically
recommended for top loading washers
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Choosing the detergent type
• The type of detergent to be used depends
on the type and colour of the fabric.
• Use different detergents for coloured and
white laundry.
• Wash delicate clothes with special
detergents only.
• When washing dark coloured clothes and
quilts, use a liquid detergent.
• Wash woollens with special detergent
made specifically for woollens.
liquid detergent
• Add liquid detergent into the detergent
drawer before washing. If the liquid
detergent has lost its “fluidity”, dilute it
with water before pouring it into the
detergent drawer.
• Note: in order to avoid residual detergent
build up, clean the detergent drawer every
2-3 months.
Adjusting detergent amount
• The amount of detergent to be used
depends on the amount of laundry, the
degree of soiling and water hardness.
• Do not use amounts exceeding the
dosage quantities recommended on the
detergent package to avoid problems of
excessive foam and poor rinsing.
• Use less detergent for small amounts or
lightly soiled clothes.
Using gel and tablet detergent
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal
or it is a capsule liquid tablet, place it
directly into the wash tub before washing.
• Place tablet detergents into the detergent
drawer or directly into the wash tub before
washing.
How to use bleach
If required, add a measure of liquid chlorine
bleach to the bleach inlet. Avoid spilling
bleach onto the clothes in the machine as
undiluted bleach may damage them.
1. Dilute bleach with twice the volume of
water. Use only a little amount of bleach
and rinse clothes well to avoid skin
irritation. Do not pour bleach onto clothes.
2. Read and carefully follow the directions
and warnings regarding the use of bleach.
3. Do not use bleach for coloured fabrics.
4. Do not use bleach and detergents by
mixing them.
Using softener
• Add softener into the softener dispenser
before washing. The softener will flow into
the inner drum in all standard programs
except the delicate program.
• Avoid spilling undiluted softener onto the
clothes in the wash tub as it may damage
them.
• If the softener has lost its “fluidity”, dilute it
with water before pouring it into the
softener dispenser.
Note: in order to avoid residual softener
build up, clean the softener dispenser every
2-3 months.
Tablet detergents may leave residues
in the detergent compartment. If this
should occur, place the tablet
detergent in amongst the laundry
near the lower part of the wash tub
for future washes.
When using detergent, softener,
starch, fabric dye, bleach or limescale
remover read the manufacturer's
instructions on the package carefully
and follow the dosage values. Use a
measuring cup if available.
Important: Use only detergents
manufactured specifically for top
loader washing machines.
