Fabric Softener
To prevent static, add softener before you 
start washing. It will be automatically added 
in the final rinse cycle.
Dilute concentrated softeners before you 
add them. Add up to only 110 ml to the 
compartment to avoid overflowing.
Rinse out the remaining softener with 
a splash of water or a damp cloth after 
washing. If it sticks to the compartment, 
pull out the drawer and clean it out. (See 
page 24-25.)
Note
Follow the directions on the softener 
packages for the appropriate amounts. 
If too much softener is added, it may 
remain in the detergent drawer.
Laundry starch
Simply add laundry starch to the softener 
compartment. It will be automatically added 
to the clothing as part of the final rinsing 
process. Make sure that you do not fill the 
compartment over the MAX level.
If it is hard to pour, you can dilute the 
starch slightly with water before adding it.
Note
After using starch, clean the detergent 
drawer, especially the softener cover 
(see page 24-25). Then, run the Rapid 
15 programme WITHOUT detergent to 
remove any excess starch in the drum.
Prewashing compartment
Detergent for prewashing
Whenever you use the Cotton (Prewash) 
programme ( 
+
) always put 
detergent for the prewash in this 
compartment.
