Important Notes

For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for dispensing detergents and liquid additives.

Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it in gently. This is particularly important if you are using

fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the machine prematurely.

When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme, place the detergent into the correct compartment in the dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.
