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 household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates. 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. Whites We recommend the Ariel product range which is biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at low temperatures. 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. 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. 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. p If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer, please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme. Traditional Powders Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine 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). 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 devicep 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, or alternatively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing devicep which should be placed on top of the laundry and at the back of the machine drum. - 11 - Maintenance and cleaning The cabinet Clean the outside surfaces of the machine using a mild (non-abrasive) household cleaning product.
