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.
