Detergents Type And Quantity
Of Detergent
Low sudsing detergent is required for this
washer-dryer to prevent oversudsing
problems, unsatisfied washing result and
harm to the machine. Low sudsing
detergents designed for front load
washer-dryers are labelled “Front
Loading”, “high efficiency”, “HE”, such as
Cold Power for Front Loaders or “Matic”.
Do not use wrong types of detergent,
such as Top Loading, Handwash
detergent or Soap-Based products in
your frontload washer-dryer. This can
result in excessive suds, longer cycle
