USING THE CORRECT DETERGENT

Because of the very low quantity of water used in a Front Load Washer, it is very important to use only a detergent that has been specially formulated not to cause excessive foam build up during washing. We recommend that only OMO matic for Front Loaders be used. WARNING!! The use of specific detergents for Top Load or those recommended for both Top and Front Loaders should not be used. The use of these powders cause over sudsing and machine problems which will shorten the life cycle of the machine and void the warranty. Detergents for Wool Wash The wool wash is a very special program and operates differently to all other wash cycles. We recommend the use of Wool Mix. Use approx half the stated dosage.

VERY IMPORTANT
