Solving wash problems
Creasing
Was the washer (or dryer) overloaded?
Selecting the EASY IRON cycle will minimise creasing.
Try selecting a slower spin speed.
Try not to leave wet clothes sitting in the washer or laundry basket.
Try selecting a lower wash temperature.
Sort your load so that items of similar weight are washed together.
Linting
Was the washer overloaded?
Wash lint givers, eg towels, separately from lint receivers, eg synthetics. Also wash similar
colours together (eg light items with light items, dark items with dark items).
Have you used enough detergent?
Over drying clothes in the dryer can cause them to attract lint.
Try using High Efficiency OFF (refer to page 12), or select the SOFTENER option (refer to page16).
Poor soil removal
Are you using the most appropriate wash cycle for the amount of dirt?
Did you use enough detergent for the amount of dirt?
Was the washer overloaded?
Separate heavily and lightly soiled garments.
Use a wash temperature suitable for soil type, eg warm for greasy soils, cold for muddy soils.
Try using one of the WASH BOOST options (refer to page 17).
Try selecting the HEAVY option using the SOIL LEVEL button.
Detergent residue
Are you using the most appropriate wash cycle?
Did you use the recommended amount of liquid detergent?
Use the SOFTENER rinse (ensure the SOFTENER option is selected) to give more water in
the rinse. Note: adding fabric softener to the dispenser is not needed in this instance.
Was the washer overloaded? Ensure items have enough room to move in the wash bowl.
Is your cold water supply less than 20°C? Programme the CONTROLLED COLD temperature
option.
Dye transfer
Remember to separate whites and colours.
Wash non-colourfast items separately and select COLD wash temperature.
Remember to remove items from the washer as soon as the wash is finished.
