ENGLISH

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.

Should oversudsing occur, the machine will indicate

an error code or message. (See page 9.)

LIQUID DETERGENTSLIQUID 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 prewash,

so add it into the main wash compartment.

THE DETERTHE DETERGENT DRAGENT DRAWERWER

The detergent drawer on ASKO washers automatically

dispenses the detergent and fabric softener at the

appropriate times. Simply pour the measured amounts

of detergent and softener into the proper compartments

(as illustrated) and close the drawer.

RECOMMENDED POWDERRECOMMENDED POWDER

DETERGENTSDETERGENTS

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

low-sudsing powder detergents that have been

successfully tested in ASKO washers:

We recommend that you do not use any powder

detergent that doesn’t wash completely out of the

detergent drawer.

AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USEAMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USE

The amount of detergent needed varies among the

different brands, but for most detergents, you need only

one or two tablespoons. Using too much detergent

can result in detergent residue being left in your clothes,

which can cause them to appear gray or dingy. You

should start with a small amount of detergent and

increase it only if the cleaning results are unsatisfactory.

Additionally, you should never put detergent in the

prewash compartment unless you are using a wash

program that has a prewash cycle. This could cause

excess foaming, which could damage the machine.

The amount of detergent needed can also depend on

the hardness of the water in your area. See the

“Detergent Amounts Based on Water Hardness” section

on the next page for more details.

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.

Child-Safe CatchChild-Safe Catch

All ASKO 600-series washers have a child-safe catch

on the detergent drawer that can be engaged to prevent

a child from opening the drawer and possibly coming

into contact with the detergent or fabric softener.

The safety catch is the red plastic piece on the back

right side of the pull-out handle. To engage the catch,

open detergent drawer a little then pull the catch forward

and release it. Once the catch is engaged, you must

push it to the left each time you open the detergent

drawer.

To disengage the catch, push it to the left then back.

Should you prefer to use a

liquid detergent, we have

provided a partition piece with

the detergent drawer

specifically for use with liquid

detergents. Insert the partition

in the slot at the back of the

main wash compartment

before you pour in the liquid

detergent.
