Adding detergent to the dispenser:
Pour laundry detergent directly into the main wash compartment, and if necessary, the pre-wash compartment, before starting
the cycle or as the washer is filling. (See pre-wash detergent compartment section below).
NOTE: Some concentrated liquid detergents will not fully dispense. Concentrated liquid detergents should be diluted with
water prior to adding it to the dispenser. See “Care and Cleaning” section for directions on how to clean your dispenser. To
prevent liquid detergent residue in the dispenser, a detergent ball can be used in the machine as a substitute for the use of
liquid detergent in the dispenser.
It is not necessary to use the pre-wash compartment for every wash cycle. Loads will be adequately cleaned without using
the pre-wash cycle. A pre-wash cycle should be used when washing heavily soiled loads or difficult soils. The “stain brain” will
also provide recommended times to use pre-wash.
Either liquid or granular detergent may be used in the pre-wash compartment to wash clothes. Follow the directions on the
box or bottle to determine the appropriate amount of detergent for the pre-wash compartment. If the box or bottle does
not say how much detergent to use, divide the recommended amount of main wash detergent and put
1 ⁄
3
of it into the pre-
wash compartment. Do not exceed 200ml of granular detergent in the pre-wash compartment. If the pre-wash compartment
is overfilled with detergent, flooding of the dispenser can occur.
NOTE: Due to the large capacity of the washer, when using extra large loads (greater than 5 kg) or heavily soiled loads,
use 1 ⁄
3
of the amount of the recommended main wash detergent in the pre-wash compartment in ADDITION to the full
recommended amount used in the main wash compartment.

This compartment automatically dilutes and releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the programme. Follow
these steps when using liquid fabric softener:
Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment. For smaller
loads use less than one cap full. Do not exceed the level at the bottom of the siphon cap which is
marked by an arrow. Usually, about 135ml of liquid will fill the cup to this mark.
NOTE:
• Do not pour fabric softener too quickly. A fast pour can result in premature siphoning of the
softener cup.
• Never pour fabric softener directly on the load. It may leave spots and stains.
• Use the softener compartment only for liquid fabric softeners.
After loading the laundry additives into the dispenser, close the dispenser lid.
For care and cleaning of the dispenser, see the “Care and Cleaning” section.
