IMPORTANT NOTES
For best results, always use the dispenser drawer forWhen using liquid detergent and a prewash programme,
dispensing detergents and liquid additives.place the detergent into the correct compartment in the
dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.
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.
