Fabric softener
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.
1
Select your wash cycle. Using the SCROLL buttons, scroll through the cycle choices until the
desired cycle is highlighted, then press SELECT (refer to page 13 for more information).
2
Scroll through the Wash Options until SOFTENER is highlighted, then touch SELECT.
3
Scroll until Fabric Softener ON is highlighted, touch SELECT to confirm your choice. You will then
have the option to save this choice for future washes when using this wash cycle (refer to page
14 for more information).
Adding the fabric softener
Measure the softener out into the cap and pour into the fabric
softener dispenser. The softener will remain in the top of the
dispenser until the deep rinse where water flushes it into the bowl.
Note: If you fill beyond the MAX mark, the overflow will pour fabric
softener into the bowl 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 centre
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 machine.
If scrud is allowed to build-up in the machine 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 machine regularly using the CLEAN ME cycle (see page 25).
Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a warm or
hot wash at regular intervals, eg. every 5
th
wash.
