Fabric softener
Fabric softener added to the wash
program will make fabrics feel softer
and will reduce static cling in the dryer.
^ Open the lid of the fabric softener
compartment
§.
^ Pour the amount of liquid fabric
softener into the compartment
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
dispensed during the final rinse cycle.
A small amount of water will remain in
the compartment at the end of the
program.
Never mix fabric softener and starch
together in the fabric softener. This
will clog the dispenser.
Starch
Starching can be included in any wash
program as part of the final rinse, or
can be performed separately:
^ Open the fabric softener
compartment
§.
^ Add the recommended amount of
starch.
^ Close the compartment lid and push
in the dispenser drawer.
^ The starch will be dispensed during
the final rinse.
Using the "Starch" program
^ Add the amount of starch
recommended on the packaging to
the fabric softener compartment
§.
^ Turn the program selector to "Starch".
^ Select a spin speed.
^ Press the "START" button.
If starch is used frequently, clean the
dispenser compartment, especially
the siphon tube and fabric softener
duct. See "Cleaning the detergent
dispenser drawer".
Fabric dye
^ Do not use fabric dyes in this washer.
