Fabric softener
^ Pour liquid fabric softener into the
compartment according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Do not
exceed the maximum fill level, the
excess will prematurely activate the siphon
and be wasted.
^ Close the compartment lid and push in the
dispenser drawer.
The fabric 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 in
the fabric softener compartment §. This
will clog the dispenser.
