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