How to use laundry starch
Laundry starch makes your clothes crisp in texture.
Synthetic laundry starch is a stiffening agent.
● To use laundry starch, simply add it to the softener compartment, next to where you
add detergent. It will automatically be applied to your clothes as part of the final
rinsing cycle. (see pages 10-11)
● If it’s hard to pour, you can dilute the starch slightly with water before adding it to the
softener compartment. Make sure you don’t fill the compartment over the MAX level.
(Note)
● After using starch, clean the detergent drawer, especially the softener cover.
(see page 28)
● After using starch, to remove any excess starch in the drum, run a Rapid 15
programme without detergent.
