TO REMOVE FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER CUP FOR CLEANING

Push cup through dispenser with thumb

Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

Liquid bleach:

1.Use half the recommended dose of bleach and dilute with water.

2.Remove the fabric softener dispenser and pour down the inside edge of the agitator stem, in line with the fins. Select the SOFTENER RINSE button.This changes the rinse to thoroughly remove bleach residue.

3.Add detergent and replace the fabric softener dispenser.

4.For best results, add liquid bleach after the first two amber wash lights are no longer visible.

Powdered Bleach:

Pour half the recommended dose of powdered bleach into the agitator with your detergent.

The fabric softener goes into the dispenser on the top of the agitator. The ring on the dispenser cup is a guide for the amount of fabric softener to add for a full load. Smaller loads require less fabric softener.

Softener Rinse

If you wish to use fabric softener when using the Regular or Heavy Duty cycles you must select the SOFTENER RINSE option. This changes the rinse option to include a deep rinse so the fabric softener will be dispensed correctly.

Scrud is the name given to 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 your clothes or an unpleasant smell in your washer.

If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:

-Using fabric softener sparingly.

-When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.

-Clean the dispenser as soon as the cycle is finished.

-Clean your machine regularly (refer page 18).

-Cold water washing increases the chance of the build-up occurring.We recommend that a warm permanent press wash be used at regular intervals, eg every 5th wash should be warm.

-Fabric softener of a thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a build-up.
