Adding fabric softener or starch
If fabric softener is desired, it will work
more effectively and be gentler on the
clothes if it is dispensed in the final
rinse cycle of the wash, rather than in
the tumble dryer through the use of sof-
tener sheets. To automatically dispense
fabric softener:
Open the lid of compartment
p
.
Following the manufacturer’s recom-
mendations, pour the specified
amount of liquid fabric softener into
compartment
p
. However, do not ex-
ceed the maximum fill level marked
inside the compartment, as any ex-
cess will prematurely activate the si-
phon and be wasted.
Close the compartment lid and push
in the dispenser drawer.
The conditioner will automatically be
dispensed during the last rinse cycle.
At the end of the programme a small
amount of water will normally remain in
compartment
p
. A high water level in
this compartment, however, may indi-
cate that the siphon is clogged or the
dispenser drawer was opened during
the last rinse cycle, thereby interrupting
the distribution of fabric softener. In this
case, the siphon tube should be
cleaned as described on Page 21.
Starch
If starch is used for shirts, blouses,
table cloths, napkins, etc., pour the liq-
uid starch into compartment
p
(use
the some procedure as for fabric sof-
tener).
Never mix fabric softener and starch
together in compartment
p
. This can
lead to a blockage in the washer’s over-
flow system.
Using the “Starch” programme for
dispensing liquid starch
– Prepare the starch solution in accor-
dance with the manufacturer’s in-
structions and pour it into compart-
ment
i
.
– Use the normal water level (Water
Plus button “out”) when starching so
that the solution will have the maxi-
mum effect.
“Without final spin” can be selected to
reduce fabric creasing.
