Bulk Softener Tank
The bulk softener tank holds over a gallon (140
ounces or 4100 ml) of liquid non-concentrated bulk
softener. After filling the tank, press the Softener
Tank On button to turn on its light and designate
bulk fabric softener dispense.
The Tank Levels light (1-5) indicate how much
softener is left. An empty tank is shown by a single
red light. A full (or nearly full) tank is shown by 5
lights.
NOTE: The initial fill of the bulk tank will require
50 ounces of softener to prime the system. If you
press the Start button when the tank is empty,
the Softener Tank On button and red empty Tank
Level light will blink. The machine will not start. A
beep will also sound if Variable Signal is on. To
start the machine, you must add more softener to
the tank or turn off the bulk softener tank.
Set the Bulk Softener Cup Amount Preference
When the Softener Tank On light is on, pressing the Softener Cup Amount button will set the Softener Cup
Amount lights (1, 2, or 3).
Level 1 will distribute the standard amount minus 25%.
Level 2 will distribute the standard amount.
Level 3 will distribute the standard amount plus 25%.
Examples:
Factory default standard amount is 1.0 oz (30 ml) (Concentration Setting 10).
If Softener Cup Amount shows 3 lights then 1.3 oz (37 ml) will be dispensed.
If Softener Cup Amount shows 2 lights then 1.0 oz (30 ml) will be dispensed.
If Softener Cup Amount shows 1 light then .8 oz (22 ml) will be dispensed.
NOTE: Softener Cup Amount is 0 for non softener knob positions or whatever was set the last time
softener was dispensed. If you manually change the Softener Cup Amount, this will be used for all
further softener cycles. It will not be (uniquely) saved if you set a My Settings.

Medium, or High amount will be dispensed.
See the Bulk Tank Special Functions Option 1: Set

how the Low, Medium, and High amounts are
established.
