Choosing the right cycle
If you wish to use fabric softener you will need to select the FABRIC SOFTENER option which will
give you a deep rinse. If Fabric Softener is not selected, the softener will not be dispensed.
Select your wash cycle. Using the SCROLL buttons, scroll through the Cycle choices until the
1
desired cycle is highlighted, then press SELECT (refer to page 21 for more information).
Scroll through the Wash Options until SOFTENER is highlighted, then touch SELECT (refer to page
2
23 for more information).
Scroll until Fabric Softener ON is highlighted, touch SELECT to confirm your choice. You will then
3
have the option to save this choice for future washes when using this wash cycle.
Adding the fabric softener
Measure the fabric softener out into the cap and pour into the
Fabric Softener Dispenser. It will remain in the top of the dispenser
until the deep rinse where water flushes it into the tub.
Note: If you fill beyond the MAX mark, the overflow will pour fabric
softener into the tub prematurely and contribute to scrud.
Cleaning the dispenser
The funnel of the fabric softener (the top) clicks off easily. Simply place a finger down the center
and lift. The remaining siphon tube and Fabric Softener well is not removable and needs to be
wiped clean with hot water and an old toothbrush periodically. If the siphon tube looks partially
blocked use a cotton bud to clean.
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:
Use it sparingly.
Measure it carefully to ensure you do not fill above the MAX level.
Clean the dispenser as soon as the cycle has finished.
Clean your washer regularly using the CLEAN ME cycle (see pages 32 and 37).
Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a warm or
hot wash at regular intervals eg every 5
