FABRIC SOFTENER
DISPENSER
The built-in fabric softener dispenser,
located in the top of the agitator is
designed to dispense fabric softener
into the final rinse automatically. Since
bleach and granular detergents should
not be used in the final rinse, they
should not be placed in the dispenser
cup. Always follow the manufacturer's
di rections for usage of fabric softener.
Place
diluted softener in dispenser cup
before starting washer. During agi-
tation, it remains in the cup.
At the start of the spin for the final
rinse, the softener is spun up to the top
of the cup and leaves the cup through
the slots around the top circumference
of cup.
The
softener is held in the filter cap by
centrifugal force during the remainder
of the spin cycle.
At the end of the spi
n, the softener
drains down through the agitator into
the wash basket as the water enters for
the final rinse.
CAUTION:
Do not interrupt the spin cycle when
fabric softener is being used. This will
cause the softener to be dispensed pre-
maturely and it will not be properly uti-
lized. This can result in "grease" spots
on the clothes.
