And in which form?
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they
are also available in different forms. Whether you chose
a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is to
own personal choice.
Traditional Powders
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do
not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.
Traditional Liquids
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of
the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start
the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in
the dispenser drawer.
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the specially
designed dosing device* which should be placed on top
of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.
Compact Powders and Liquids
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also
known) are available in liquid or powder form, and gen-
erally require a smaller dosage. Follow the manufactur-
er’s instructions to ensure the most economical usage.
Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or
alternatively measure the detergent into the specially
designed dosing device* which should be placed on top
of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.
* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,
please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed
before carrying out a drying programme.
Fabric Conditioners
These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also reduce
static cling on synthetics and make ironing easier. They
are available in two types:
For example Lenor liquid fabric
softener, for use in the washing
machine/washer dryer. The
liquid fabric softener should be
poured into the compartment
marked with the symbol .
Follow the manufacturer’s dosage
instructions and never exceed the
MAX level.
Bounce conditioning sheets for use
in a tumble dryer. We recommend
the conditioning sheets are pinned
(using a safety pin) to an article
of laundry and placed in the
tumble dryer.
USE OF DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
Which detergent?
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your
appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in
your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended
for use in automatic machines.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and house-
hold textiles and to make them last longer you should
use different types of detergent for different washes,
whether for whites, colours or delicates.
Whites
We recommend the Ariel product
range which is biological and
designed to provide excellent
cleaning and stain removal even
at low temperatures.
Non Biological
If you prefer to use a non
biological detergent, which does
not contain enzymes we
recommend Fairy. Fairy provides
good cleaning and stain removal.
Coloureds
For coloured items you should use a
detergent which is designed to clean
while maintaining the original colour.
Ariel Color does not contain bleach
and therefore helps to preserve
colours.
Delicate Items
When washing delicates such as
woollens, you should use a product
which is specially designed to care for
fine fabrics.
Dreft Automatic is suitable for woollens
and other delicates.
Laundry Bleach
For additional stain removal you may
wish to use a product such as Ace
Gentle Bleach which is used in addition
to your chosen detergent. Ace is suit-
able for all washable fabrics including
silks, woollens and coloureds.
