Fabric softener dosage setting on series 5 washing machine?

[andy_in_ireland]

I have to try and get my head around this softener dosage setting on the WW90T534 (and similar models) in the settings. 

Low/Med/High = thats self explanatory.

But this 

1x/2x/3x concentration what is that about?

So if you have put thick fabric conditioner liquid in the autodose drawer do you select 1x or 3x?

Is it:
1x if the conditioner you have put in is runny?
and
3x if the conditioner you use is thick in consistency 

or is it the other way around?

ie
does 1x = less conditioner is used or more water added to wash?
or
Does 3x=more conditioner is added to wash and less water is used?

it does not seem to be that clear cut.

@andy_in_ireland: The amount of softener that is dispensed decreases as the concentration level increases.

With this in mind, if you have the concentration level at '3x', then this will dispense less softener than the default '1x' option, if that makes sense.

thank you for that . So if you want the most maximum amount of fabric softener dispensed into your laundry then you need to select 'High' and then 1x is that right?

@andy_in_ireland: No problem. Yes, if you set the Dose per wash/Dose per rinse to High, and the concentration level to 1x, then this will dispense the maximum amount of softener.
