Both too much and too little can cause problems. Use only detergent for automatic washing machines, and follow the manufacturer's instructions when measuring the quantity. Increase the quantity of detergent if the load is heavily soiled or if you have a hard water supply. Decrease the amount for lightly soiled items or less than a full load. Excessive foaming may indicate you have used too much detergent. The detergent dispenser is used for fabric conditioner and detergent for the main wash. Put the detergent in the larger compartment on the left (Fig 1) and the fabric conditioner in the smaller one on the right (Fig. Never fill the compartment for fabric conditioner higher than the maximum level marked on it. If using prewash, add the detergent for this straight into the drum. 3 Starting the machine Before starting the programme, check: ­ that the door is closed ­ that the machine is plugged in and switched on at the wall socket ­ that the machine's water supply is turned on Set the temperature (Fig. 4) and press any option buttons you require.
