HOW THE FABRIC
SOFTENER IS DISPENSED
HOW MUCH FABRIC
SOFTENER?
CLEANING THE
DISPENSER
The fabric softener goes into the dispenser on the top of
the agitator. During the rinse the machine spins to
release the fabric softener, delivering it down the agitator
stem as the machine fills for the final deep rinse.
Note:
The Water Saver option is not designed to be used
with fabric softener. Water Saver does not use a deep
rinse so it cannot dispense fabric softener correctly.
The ring on the dispenser cup is a guide for the
amount of fabric softener to add for a full load.
Smaller loads require less fabric softener.
When using fabric softener, rinse your dispenser at the
end of each wash.
1. Separate the cup from the dispenser body by
pushing downward on the base of the cup.
2. Rinse both parts of the dispenser using warm
soapy water.
Scrud is the name given to the waxy build-up that can
occur within any washer when the fabric softener
comes into contact with detergent. This build-up is
not brought about by a fault in the machine. If scrud is
allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in
stains on your clothes or an unpleasant smell in your
washer.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:
•
Using fabric softener sparingly.
•
When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
•
Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle has finished.
•
Clean your machine regularly (refer page 24).
•
Cold water washing increases the chance of this
build-up occurring. We recommend a warm or hot
wash at regular intervals eg approx. every 5th wash.
•
Fabric softener of a thinner consistency is less likely
to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to
a build-up.
