Sorting and loading
When sorting your wash load and loading your CleanSmart™ there are some important things
to consider:
Sorting
Care labels provide valuable information about the fabric type and how the garment should
bewashed.
Sort items according to what they are soiled with – some soils, like mud and blood are best washed
in cold water. Oily soils (eg some foods and marks on shirt collars) are best washed in warm water.
Always separate coloured items from whites, especially when they are new.
Some items are lint givers (eg towels, nappies), while others are lint collectors (eg black trousers,
synthetic socks). Always wash lint givers and collectors separately.
Lint givers Lint collectors
Towels Synthetics, eg polar fleece
Flannelette sheets Corduroy
Nappies Polyester cottons
Before you load
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet covers), and
remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your CleanSmart™ and your clothes.
Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag.
Pre-treat any stains taking care not to spray or wipe pre-treaters around and directly on your
washer. These can damage the plastic surfaces.
Loading
CleanSmart™ is more efficient when washing larger loads. So try to wash larger loads – without
packing clothes too tightly into the wash bowl. Wait till you have at least 4 or 5 items before you
doa wash.
For the best wash, only fill the machine to the top of the stainless steel bowl (ie to just underneath
the plastic ring).
Always separate out your sheets and wash them on their own using the specifically designed SHEETS
cycle. Your sheets will wash better and last longer this way. Load sheets in parcels to the side of the
low profile agitator and in layers around the bowl. Do not load sheets across the centre of the low
profile agitator.
Never wrap items around the low-profile agitator like a snake, or spread them over the agitator.
Instead, place them in as loose parcels. This will help prevent tangling and out of balance issues.
For best results and longevity, always separate out your towels and wash them on their own using
the specifically designed TOWELS cycle.
Important!
Please do not under any circumstances wash an electric blanket in your CleanSmart™ washer.
It is not recommended that you wash curtains in your CleanSmart™. Sunlight makes them brittle
and they may disintegrate during washing.
