Detergent Dosage

Detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer and selected according to type, colour, soiling of the fabric and the washing temperature. Use only detergents that are suitable for Drum (front load) type washers.If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent amount.If too much detergent is used, too many suds can occur and this will result in poor washing results or cause heavy load to the motor.If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow the guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the wash cycle immediately.If you select the Pre Wash option after adding the detergent directly into the drum, the detergent may be washed away, reducing the washing performance. For best results, use the Pre Wash option with the ezDispense function. The manual dispenser cannot be used for dispensing pre-wash detergent.Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid overdosing the detergent. Failing to do so will cause oversudsing.Refer to the label of the clothes, before adding the detergent and choosing the water temperature.Use only suitable detergents for the respective type of clothing:Liquid detergent is often designed for special applications, e.g. for coloured fabric, wool, delicate or dark clothes.Powdered detergent is suitable for all types of fabric.For better washing results of white and pale garments, use powdered detergent with bleach.Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the wash cycle.Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or odour.Full load: According to manufacturer’s recommendation.Part load: 1/2 of the normal amount.Minimum load: 1/3 of full load.

Using the ezDispense Function

When the ezDispense function is turned on, the liquid detergent and softener are dispensed in the set amounts, at the appropriate time during the cycle.A full detergent compartment will last for about 20 standard cycles, with the drum loaded halfway up with clothes.The default settings are configured to dispense 42 ml of detergent and 30 ml of softener for 4-6 kg of normally soiled laundry. This can be changed using the Dispenser 1 or Dispenser 2 button. Please refer to Extra Options and Functions in OPERATION chapter for further details.Slowly slide the detergent dispenser drawer out as far as it will go.Turn the lids on the ezDispense compartments counterclockwise to open them.Pour the detergent and softener into their respective compartments, up to the MAX line.The ezDispense drawer has two compartments. Put the liquid detergent into the right hand side compartment and the liquid fabric softener or liquid detergent into the left hand side compartment. If detergent is added to the b compartment, the fabric softener cannot be used.Do not put powdered or liquid bleach, gel, tablet detergent, natural oil based liquids or sheet type detergents, or acidic solutions such as vinegar into the ezDispense compartments. Doing so will cause damage to the internal tubing and other dispensing parts and affect the operation.Remove any residual detergent on the outside of the ezDispense drawer before inserting it.Do not try to fill the compartments too quickly. Add detergent and softener slowly to avoid overflows.After filling the compartments, insert the lids and turn them clockwise until they are tightly closed.Securely close the lids to the ezDispense compartments to minimize airflow which can harden these additives and prevent them from dispensing properly. Be careful not to lose the lids.Close the dispenser drawer slowly before starting the cycle.Slamming the drawer closed may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or dispensing into the drum earlier than programmed.Be careful not to get a hand caught in the drawer while closing.It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the manual dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.Close lid and cover of the compartment securely before use. If not, the detergent and softner will harden or overflow.Slide the detergent dispenser drawer out or in slowly and use both hands for safety. Failure to do so can damage the washer or cause the detergent or softener to leak out of the ventilation holes.Detergent or fabric softener left in the ezDispense compartments for an extended period may harden and fail to dispense properly.Do not remove the dispenser drawer while the product is in operation.Remove detergent/softener in the ezDispense compartments before moving or relocating the the washing machine.Keep the ezDispense compartment level to prevent contents from leaking.Add detergent to the manual dispenser.Press the Dispenser 1 or Dispenser 2 button repeatedly to turn off the ezDispense function.Dispenser 1 buttonDispenser 2 buttonOpen the detergent dispenser drawer.Load the laundry products into the appropriate manual dispenser compartments.Use the main wash detergent compartment at the manual dispenser for powdered or liquid detergent.Do not place detergent sheets, tablets or packs in the manual dispenser.If using single-use detergent packs, place the pack in the drum before loading the laundry.
