Contrarotator

The only 2-drum wash action.
Conventional washing machines may seem convenient, but their poor performance lets you down. So James Dyson asked his engineers to experiment with every imaginable way of washing to design a better washing machine.
Along the way, Dyson engineers made a surprising discovery: washing by hand gave better wash results than single drum machines. Because the laundry is constantly on the move, it is manipulated and flexed. This opens the fabric to the detergent, releasing dirt quickly and effectively. To replicate the movement of washing by hand, Dyson engineers designed two aligned drums and engineered them to rotate in opposite directions at the same time: laundry is constantly on the move, manipulated and flexed.

  • This will clean any test water out of the machine, and allow you to check that the machine is installed and levelled correctly.
  • Observe it regularly during the first wash and check connections afterwards and during the first week, to ensure that they have been fitted correctly.

Operation

Loading the washing machine

  • Ensure the machine is plugged into the mains and switched on at the socket. Check that the water supply is on 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.dyson CRO2
Counterrotator Washing Machine - Detergent use

  • 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, do not overfill.

  • Push the soap tray to close, ensuring it ‘clicks’.

Detergent use

  • Use only powder suitable for automatic washing machines.
Type of laundry Type of detergent
Brightly coloured/multi coloured Colour care
Whites Conventional biological or non-biological
Wool, silk Non biological wool/silk

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 (selected models only). This could fade coloured laundry if the detergent touches the fabric before the water soaks the laundry.
  • place detergent into the drums when using a pre-wash as it will be used before the main wash. Instead, use the soap tray.
  • 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

  • CRO2’s drum capacity is larger than conventional washing machines.
  • This larger load will require a slight increase in detergent. We recommend the following doses:
CRO2 with a half load CRO2 with a full load
Powder 1 scoop
Liquid 1 dose
Tablets 2 tablets

*For maximum dosage based on very heavy soil and hard water please refer to manufacturer’s instructions on detergent pack.
