Using Fabric Softener
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend
Attention
■
Do not mix with Detergent or bleach.
■
Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them.
■
Do not stop the washer during the first spin for timely dispensing.
■
Option washing is not designed to be used with fabric softener dispenser.
• Dilute fabric softener with water.
Undiluted fabric softener may result in spots that look like oil
stains.
• Measure and add the recommended amount of fabric softener
into the compartment marked with this symbol( ).
Follow manufacturer’s direction.
Fabric softener is automatically dispensed in the final rinse
with indication beep.
If you want EXTRA RINSE,
you must add fabric
softener manually when indication beep rings in the final
rinse. This maximize the fabric softener function.
• Do not overfill. The dispenser hold max 35mL.
Never add more than 35mL.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener
which could result in stained clothes. A cup with a pouring spout will help you avoid spilling.
• The effect of adding fabric softener may vary according to its viscosity. The stickier fabric softener makes its
effect the lower. For a sticky fabric softener it is recommended that it be diluted with water, then be manually
put during the time when the washer beeps several times before the final rinse. This function informing
correct time to dispense manually is optionally applied to some models. Please keep it in mind that fabric
softener has to be diluted with water before dispensed and never poured directly on clothes.
Scrud(Waxy Build up)
Softener dispenser ( )
or
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.
• Using fabric softener sparingly.
• When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
• Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle is finished.
• Clean your machine regularly.
(refer to page 21 or 32)
• Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a regular WARM or
HOT wash e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a warm one.
• Fabric softener of thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a
build-up.
