Advice and tips before washing Detergents Note! Due to environmental concerns, we discourage the use of chlorine bleach in your Asko washing machine. The tumbling wash action, temperature control options, extended wash times and proper amount of detergent are sufficient to remove most stains. Laundry detergents are available in low, normal and high-sudsing formulas. A detergents 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, highsudsing detergents are more difficult to completely rinse out. The use of anything other than a lowsudsing 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 over-sudsing 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. The tumbling wash action, temperature control options, extended wash times and proper amount of detergent are sufficient to remove most stains. Liquid detergents We don't recommend liquid detergents because they tend to produce more suds than powder detergents when used in water temperatures of 150 °F or higher. If you should try a liquid detergent, start with a very small amount, such as 1 to 2 tablespoons. Also, liquid detergent can be used for all programs without pre-wash, so add it into the main wash compartment. Should you prefer to use a liquid detergent, we have provided a liquid detergent cup specifically for use with liquid detergents. Insert the liquid detergent cup in the main wash compartment before you pour in the liquid detergent. Note! The liquid detergent cup is supplied with the machine Customer Care Center 13 1-800-898-1879 www.askousa.com
