Splendide 2100XC bleach dispenser

On rare occasions, I like to run a (real) chlorine bleach load (never had much success with the "non-clorine bleach" products)... back in the sticks-and-bricks days, it was one load a week (guess I liked things "whiter and brighter" then!).  However, I cannot seem to find the amount of diluted bleach to put in the bleach dispenser of my (relatively) new Splendide 2100XC.  On the screen shot below, taken from the instruction manual (http://www.splendide.com/WD2100XC_IOM.pdf), I've circled the only bleach references:

a) Compartment 1:  PreWash Detergent (with Bleach Bin)
b) Warning comment:  Always dilute bleach before using. Never overfill bleach dispenser. Excess bleach could damage clothes.
c) Laundry Aid Type / Amounts:  Bleach (Optional) - DO NOT exceed the MAX fill line

OK, I get that I need to pour diluted bleach into the prewash compartment up to the max fill line....  BUT, in what quantity?  Searching has not yielded the total fluid volume of this container (which I can find by pouring water-only from a measuring cup - just as soon as this load of towels finishes).  However, this doesn't answer the question of the most effective dilution ratio of bleach to water.  Any advice?  And, thanks in advance!

Oh, before I sign off.... Googling around did yield an interesting "Avoid Wrinkling Checklist" for the Splendide 2100XC:  http://www.splendide.com/XC_FabricCareGuide.pdf
