SCRUD
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.
If you wish to
use
fabric softener
we
recommend.
?
Using fabric the dispenser, do
not splash
or
overfill.
?
Clean
dispenser
as soon as
the
cycle
has finished.
?
Clean your machine
regularly
?
Cold
water
washing
increases the chance of this
build-up occurring.
We recommend
a warm or
hot wash
at regular
intervals
e.g. approx. every
5th
wash.
?
Fabric softener of thinner
consistency
is less
likely to
leave residue
on
the
dispenser
and contribute
to
a
build-up
CLEANING
THE
INSIDE OF YOUR WASHER
?
Fill your machine with hot
water.
Add about
two
cups of
a
powder detergent
that contains
phosphate.
?
Let it
rotate
for several minutes.
?
Stop
the
machine,
drain the machine and
run
the machine
through
a
regular cycle.
We do
not
recommend that you wash clothes
during
this
procedure.
