The tumbling wash action, temperature control options and extended wash times are sufficient to remove most stains. The detergent drawer is equipped with an optional child safety catch. (See your Use and Care Guide. ) DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER AMOUNTS Because ASKO washers use less water than conventional top-loading washers, you need less detergent and fabric softener. We recommend that you use a low-sudsing powder detergent only, preferably a high-efficiency (HE) detergent designed specifically for front-loading washers. (Liquid detergents tend to suds more, which make them more difficult to rinse out. ) Detergent ­ The amount of detergent needed varies, depending on the detergent you use. For high-efficiency detergent specifically for front-loading washers, you should use the amounts recommended by the manufacturer. For regular laundry detergent, 1 to 3 tablespoons of detergent is all you need for a normal wash load. Also, the amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. (Refer to your Use and Care Guide for more details. ) If you choose to use a liquid detergent, start out with a very small amount, such as one or two tablespoons. Fabric Softener ­ We recommend that you use only 2 tablespoons of fabric softener. If more softening is desired, try using slightly more with the next load. INTERRUPTING OR CHANGING A PROGRAM If you need to stop or interrupt a program after you start the machine, turn the Program Control knob to 10 (Drain). (It won't open until the water is out. ) To restart the washer, close the door, add detergent (if needed), and turn the controls to the desired settings.
