Fabric softener
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.
Note: a small volume of water remaining in the dispenser
at the end of the cycle is normal.
Adding the fabric softener
Always refer to the fabric softener package for the manufacturers
recommended 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.
Note: 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).
Cleaning the dispenser
The dispenser may need cleaning periodically. Please refer to page 31 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 machine.
If scrud is allowed to build up in the machine it can result in stains on clothes or an unpleasant
smell in your washer. Scrud can be kept under control by using the BOWL CLEAN cycle regularly
(refer to page 31).
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend to:
Use it sparingly. Measure it carefully to ensure you do not fill above the MAX level of the dispenser.
Use one that is of a thinner consistency.
Clean the dispenser as soon as the cycle has finished.
Clean your machine regularly using the BOWL CLEAN cycle (refer to page 31).
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.
