function.

Never add more than 35m   .

Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener 

which could result in stained clothes. A cup with a pouring spout will help

you avoid spilling

• The effect of adding fabric softener may vary according to its viscosity. The stickier fabric softener makes its effect

the lower. For a sticky fabric softener it is recommended that it be diluted with water, then be manually put during the

time when the washer beeps several times before the final rinse. This function informing correct time to dispense

manually is optionally applied to some models. Please keep it in mind that fabric softener has to be diluted with water

before dispensed and never poured directly on clothes.

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.
• 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.
• Cold water washing increases the chance of this 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 thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a build-up.

Do not mix with Detergent or bleach.
Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them.
Do not stop the washer during the first spin for timely dispensing.
Option washing is not designed to be used with fabric softener dispenser.
