6. Add detergent
For optimum wash results, it is
important to use the correct amount of
detergent.
Too little detergent may cause
– Ineffective cleaning of laundry;
fabrics may become gray and stiff
over time.
– Grease stains on the laundry.
– Hard water deposits on the heating
element.
Too much detergent may cause
– Oversudsing with minimal drum
movement; poor wash, rinse and
spin results.
– Higher water consumption through
an automatic, additional rinse cycle.
– Higher environmental burden.
