Fabric Softener

How the Fabric Softener is Dispensed

The fabric softener goes into the dispenser on the top of the agitator. During the rinse the machine spins to release the fabric softener, delivering it down the agitator stem as the machine fills for the final deep rinse.

Note:

The Water Saver and Eco options are not designed to be used with fabric softener. They do not use a deep rinse so the machine cannot dispense fabric softener correctly.

How Much Fabric Softener?

To remove cup

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.

Cleaning the Dispenser

When using fabric softener, rinse your dispenser at the end of each wash.

1Separate the cup from the dispenser body by pushing

downward on the base of the cup.

2Rinse both parts of the dispenser using warm soapy water.

Push cup through dispenser with thumb

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 softener sparingly.

When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.

Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle has finished.

Clean your machine regularly. (Refer page 29).

Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a warm or hot wash at regular intervals eg approx. every 5th wash.

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