Fabric Softener; Cleaning The Dispenser - Fisher & Paykel WL4027G1 Installation Instructions Manual

Choosing the right cycle
If you wish to use fabric softener you will need to select the SOFTENER option by using the
OPTIONS button which will give you a deep rinse. If SOFTENER 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 manufacturer's
recommended dosage.
Measure the fabric softener out into the cap and pour into the
fabric softener dispenser (next to the detergent dispenser). The
fabric softener will remain in the top of the dispenser until the
deep rinse when water flushes it into the tub.
Note: if you fill above the MAX level mark, the fabric softener will
dispense into the basket 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 43 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 the clothes or an unpleasant
smell in your washer.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend you:
Use it sparingly.
■ ■
Use one that is of a thinner consistency.
■ ■
Measure it carefully to ensure you do not fill above the MAX level of the dispenser.
■ ■
Clean the dispenser as soon as the cycle has finished.
■ ■
Clean your washer regularly using the BASKET CLEAN cycle (refer to page 44).
■ ■
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.
