Using your washing machine

Laundry starch makes your clothes crisp in texture.

Synthetic laundry starch is a stiffening agent.

● To use laundry starch, simply add it to the softener compartment, next to where you

add detergent. It will automatically be applied to your clothes as part of the final 
rinsing cycle. (see pages 10-11)

● If it’s hard to pour, you can dilute the starch slightly with water before adding it to the

softener compartment. Make sure you don’t fill the compartment over the MAX level.

(Note)

● After using starch, clean the detergent drawer, especially the softener cover.  

(see page 28)

● After using starch, to remove any excess starch in the drum, run a Rapid 15

programme without detergent.

● In areas II and III, you can save detergent by adding a water softener. For the correct

dose, read the instructions on the packaging.
