  • If the detergent drawer is opened at the start of a cycle, the fabric conditioner flows directly into the drum while the water is filling up.
  • It can be checked only after the second time when water fills up. Up to this point, the fabric conditioner should be there.

The maximum level of fabric conditioner is indicated on the lid.
