Wash cycle options
Wash cycle options explained
Once you have selected your wash cycle you may wish to change the default wash options.
High Efficiency
This option lets you choose between a High Efficiency (ie High Efficiency On) and Conventional
(ie High Efficiency Off ) mode of washing.
Some cycles can be used in either of the modes, or only one, depending on what is best for
your clothes (refer to page 12).
Wash Temp
CleanSmart™ offers five wash temperatures and an additional setting, CONTROLLED COLD.
Cold Tap
Controlled
Cold
Warm / Cold Warm Warm / Hot Hot
Incoming water
from tap
20°C 35°C 40°C 50°C 60°C
Simply touch the WASH TEMP button to increase or decrease the wash temperature.
Note:
The temperature option selected determines the temperature of the first phase of the two-part
wash system, known as the Detergent Activating Wash (with the exception of the ALLERGY cycle
where both parts of the wash are hot).
Some temperatures are not available on some cycles as a safeguard for your clothes (egHOT and
WARM / HOT on the HANDWASHcycle).
Hint: if a hot wash is required, where both phases of the wash system are hot, you must select
the ALLERGY cycle, or the SHEETS cycle and HOT temperature.
Controlled Cold
The temperature of cold tap water varies widely, depending on your location and the season.
The lower the cold water temperature, the less effective the cold wash becomes. To help with
this issue we have developed CONTROLLED COLD which adds a small amount of warm water,
when necessary, to raise your cold water wash to approximately 20°C. This will ensure that you
receive a more effective wash in cold water. Cold Tap (“tAP”) is the default COLD setting on your
washer. If you wish to use the CONTROLLED COLD setting as the default COLD setting, refer to
page 28 to learn how to change the default setting.
Soil level
Your clothes and other washable items sometimes need more or less cleaning than others. The
SOIL LEVEL option lets you adjust the wash to suit the amount of soil in your load. For example, for
dirty clothes, select HEAVY and for items that are only lightly soiled, select LIGHT. This adjusts the
wash time accordingly to give the load the right amount of agitation in order to remove the soil.
