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 dryer with softener sheets. To auto- matically dispense fabric softener:

^ Open the lid of compartment p.

^Pour an amount of liquid fabric soft- ener into compartment p according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not exceed the maximum fill level marked inside the compartment, as the excess will prematurely activate the siphon and be wasted.

^Close the compartment lid and push in the dispenser drawer.

The softener will automatically be dis- pensed during the final rinse cycle.

At the end of the program a small amount of water will normally remain in compartment p. A high water level in this compartment, however, may indi- cate that the dispenser drawer was opened, or the siphon is clogged. In this case, the siphon tube should be cleaned (see “Cleaning and Care”).

Starch

Starching can be performed separately (see below) or can be included in any wash program as part of the final rinse.

Never mix fabric softener and starch to- gether in compartment p. This can clog the dispenser.

If starch is used for shirts, blouses, ta- ble cloths, napkins, etc., pour the liquid starch into compartment p (use the same procedure as for fabric soft- ener).

Using the “Starch” program to dis- pense liquid starch.

–Prepare the starch solution accord-

ing to the manufacturer’s instructions and pour it into compartment 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.
