Operation
6 01
• Plug the machine into the mains and switch on at the socket.
• Turn on the water supply at the mains.
• Open the outer and inner doors.
• Check the drums are empty before placing the sorted laundry
into the washing machine.
• Close both doors, making sure that both have ‘clicked’ shut.
It is important not to overload the machine. Maximum loads
for each programme are shown in the table section 9 02.
Tests have shown that overloading can reduce the wash
performance and may cause damage to your machine.
Detergent use
• To open the soap tray, press the hand on the soap tray.
Do not try to pull out the soap tray without first pressing it.
• Add detergent to the compartment marked 2 for all the main
wash programmes.
• For a pre-wash option, add detergent to the compartment
marked 1.
• Fabric conditioner can be added to the compartment marked
to the level indicated.

Detergent format
Place wash balls and nets directly into the drums of the
washing machine.
Do not:
• place wash balls or tablets in drums when using the start
delay option (CRO1 Memory). This could fade coloured
laundry if the detergent touches the fabric before the water
soaks the laundry.
• place wash balls or tablets in drums when using a pre-wash.
All the detergent will be used in the pre-wash, leaving none
for the main wash. Use the soap tray instead.
• cover wash balls or tablets with laundry, as this can inhibit the
dispersal of detergent.
• stop the wash for long periods of time once it has started.
The detergent may not have had time to disperse and
concentrations may damage the laundry.
Detergent quantity
• CRO1’s drum capacity is 60% larger than other leading ‘AAA’
washing machines.
• This larger load will require a slight increase in detergent, as
there will be more dirt circulating in the wash.
• When using your Dyson washing machine we recommend the
following doses:
