The Dispenser
Adding Detergent
● (1) Pre-wash (powder) , (2) Main wash cycle (powder or liquid)
(3) Fabric conditioner and (4) Laundry Bleach
The quantities recommended above refer to normal washing conditions and may be altered
according to the hardness of the water and the level of soiling on the laundry.
● Soft water, or ‘slightly soiled’ laundry or ‘quick wash’ etc. reduce the quantities by 10%
● Very hard water or ‘very soiled’ laundry increase the quantities by 10%
Concentrated detergents: Follow the instructions printed on the packaging.
Detergents for woollens and delicate fabrics: It is advisable to use the appropriate
detergent for washing of those textiles (do not let it come into direct contact with the drum
as some products attack the metal). Use the quantities recommended on the packaging.
● (3) Fabric conditioner
The conditioner is designed to make your clothes soft and pleasant smelling. Pour into
compartment 3, following the manufacturers instructions. The fabric conditioner is then
automatically added to the load during the last rinse. At the end of the programme there
will be a small amount of water left in the compartment, this is normal and allows for the
dilution of thicker conditioners. Should the amount of water increase you should clean
the dispenser and clear the blockage.
● (4) Laundry bleach
Bleach is NOT required when using UK washing detergents.
ONLY USE washing machine laundry bleach in compartment 4. Most UK washing
detergents do not require laundry bleach adding to the wash cycle..

Pre-wash Main wash
Normal washing powders 140 ml 250 ml
Liquid detergents 180ml
We recommend that you use the graduated beaker provided with most washing products for
measuring out your detergent.
IMPORTANT:
- When filling the
detergent compartments,
open the lid as far as
possible.
- Do not exceed the
maximum level,
overdosing the amount of
detergent does not
improve the quality of the
wash and could cause
excessive amount of suds.
The dispenser can be removed
and cleaned (see Cleaning
section).
Opening the Machine
● Ensure that the On/Off button is in the ‘OFF’ position.
