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 to
care for fine fabrics. Drefs 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 suitable for all washable
fabrics including silks, woollens
and coloureds.
And in which form?
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they
are also available in different forms. Whether you choose
a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is down
to 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 generally
require a smaller dosage. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions to ensure the most economical usage.
Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer.
This washing machine has a washing system which uses
a minimum amount of water in order to make the laundry
clean. It is therefore a risk that the detergent will not de-
solve and residues can be found on the garments after
the programme is finished if a dosing device is used.
Pre wash detergent is to be added straight into
the drum.
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).
