How the Fabric Softener is Dispensed

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

Note: SAVE WATER and ECO (SAVE WATER++) options are not designed to be used with Fabric Softener.

How much Fabric Softener?

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. Separate the cup from the dispenser body by pushing the center of the cup downward, through the top of the dispenser. Rinse both parts of the dispenser using warm soapy water.

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 is finished. Clean your machine regularly (refer to page 34).

Cold water washing increases the chance of scrud build-up occurring. We recommend a regular warm or hot wash e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a warm one.

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