3. Operating Instructions (Dosing)

To dispense the detergent:

  1. Position Cup: Place the provided dosing cup directly under the no-drip twist tap. Ensure the cup is fully positioned to catch any dispensed liquid.
  2. Dispense: Slowly twist the blue knob counter-clockwise to open the tap and dispense the desired amount of detergent into the cup. Be mindful that the initial flow can be strong.
  3. Close Tap: Once the desired amount is reached, twist the blue knob clockwise to fully close the tap. The no-drip design helps prevent spills.
  4. Add to Washer: Pour the detergent from the cup into your washing machine's detergent dispenser.

Refer to the dosing instructions on the side of the Eco-Box for recommended fill levels based on load size (medium, large, or HE full loads).

4. Maintenance

After each use, store the dosing cup in the designated holder on the top of the Eco-Box. If the cup has residual detergent, it can be rinsed with water or placed directly into the washing machine with your laundry to clean it.
