Adding Detergent and Other Chemicals

Undiluted

softener

Water

Softener compartment

The following additives may be added to

this compartment:

Fabric softener

Laundry starch

Fabric Softener

To prevent static, add softener before you

start washing. It will be automatically added

in the final rinse cycle.
Dilute concentrated softeners before you

add them. Add up to only 125 ml to the

compartment to avoid overflowing.

Rinse out the remaining softener with

a splash of water or a damp cloth after

washing. If it sticks to the compartment,

pull out the drawer and clean it out.

(P.30-31)

Note

Follow the directions on the softener

packages for the appropriate amounts.

If too much softener is added, it may

remain in the detergent drawer.

Laundry starch

Simply add laundry starch to the softener

compartment. It will be automatically

added to the clothing in the final rinsing

process. Make sure that you do not fill the

compartment over the MAX level.
If it is hard to pour, dilute the starch slightly

with water before adding it.

Note

After using starch, clean the detergent

drawer, particularly the softener cover

(P.30-31).

Then, run the Rapid 15 programme

WITHOUT detergent to remove any

excess starch in the drum.

Prewashing compartment

Detergent for prewashing

Whenever you use the Cotton (Prewash)

programme (

) always put

detergent for the prewash in this

compartment.
