WASH PREPARATION
Choosing the right cycle
If you wish to use fabric softener you will need to select
SOFTENER by touching the
OPTIONS button which will give you a deep rinse. If the SOFTENER option is not selected,
the fabric softener will not be dispensed correctly.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:
z
Using it sparingly. Measure it carefully to ensure you do not fill above the ‘Max’ level
of the dispenser.
z
Using a fabric softener that is of a thinner consistency.
z
Clean the dispenser as soon as the cycle has finished.
z
Clean your washer regularly using the BOWL CLEAN cycle, refer to ‘Caring
for your washer’.
z
Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a
warm or hot wash at regular intervals, eg every 5th wash.
Cleaning the dispensers
The dispenser may need cleaning periodically, refer to ‘Caring for your washer’ for advice
about cleaning the dispenser.
Scrud
Scrud is the name of the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when fabric
softener comes into contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault
in the washer. If scrud is allowed to build up in the washer it can result in stains on clothes
and/or an unpleasant smell in your washer. Scrud can be kept under control by using the
BOWL CLEAN cycle regularly, refer to ‘Caring for your washer’ section.
Adding the fabric softener
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on the fabric
softener packaging for the correct dosage. Measure the softener
out into the cap and pour into the fabric softener dispenser. The
softener will remain in the dispenser until the deep rinse where
water flushes it into the bowl.
If you fill beyond the ‘Max’ mark, the fabric softener will dispense
into the bowl prematurely and may stain clothes, and also
contribute to scrud (described below).
A small volume of water remaining in the dispenser at the end of
the cycle is normal.
