Advice and tips before washing Detergents Laundry detergents are available in low-, normal- and high-sudsing formulas. A detergent´s ability to clean is not relative to the amount of suds it produces. Excess suds in a front-loading washer actually interfere with the cleaning because they cushion the tumbling action. Also, high-sudsing detergents are more difficult to completely rinse out.The use of anything other than a low-sudsing detergent can cause severe oversudsing, which could cause suds to backup through the detergent compartment and run down the front of the washer onto the floor. If oversudsing occurs, run the wash through one or more rinse programs until all items are thoroughly rinsed. Remove the laundry then run the washer through a Normal wash program to get rid of any remaining detergent.We recommend that you don't use bleach in your ASKO washer. The tumbling wash action, temperature control options, extended wash times and proper amount of detergent are sufficient to remove most stains. Recommended powder detergents ASKO washers use 50% to 75% less detergent than most other washers. This is because of their low water consumption and the fact that all the wash water is repeatedly circulated through the laundry, ensuring that all the detergent is fully utilized. We recommend that you use powder detergents made specifically for front-loading washers. These are sometimes called HE (High-Efficiency) detergents. Listed below are some lowsudsing powder detergents that have been successfully tested in ASKO washers: • Fab • All • Tide HE • Amway SA8 • Fresh Start • Wisk HE We recommend that you do not use any powder detergent that doesn't wash completely out of the detergent drawer.
