5. Add detergent

Adding fabric softener

Add the fabric softener or the liquid
starch to the

compartment. Do not
exceed the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the
final rinse cycle. At the end of the
program, a small amount of water
remains in the

compartment.
If starching frequently, clean the
dispenser compartment, especially
the siphon, regularly.
Tips for dispensing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level
of soiling of the laundry and the
maximum load. Reduce the amount of
detergent with smaller loads (e.g.,
reduce the amount of detergent by ⅓
when washing a half load).
Too little detergent:
- The laundry is not cleaned properly
and may become gray and hard to
the touch over time.
- Can lead to a build-up of bacteria in
the washing machine.
- Grease is not completely removed
from the laundry.
- Can lead to limescale deposits on the
heater elements.
Too much detergent
- Poor wash, rinse, and spin results.
- Causes higher water consumption as
an extra rinse cycle is automatically
activated.
- A greater burden on the environment.
Using detergent tablets or pods
Always put detergent tablets or pods
directly in the drum with the laundry.
They cannot be added via the detergent
dispenser drawer.
See “Detergent” for more information
about detergents and how much to
dispense.
