WASH OPTIONS
Options
Soak (WashSmart™ Eco washer and WashSmart™ washer only)
Use the
SOAK option to soak clothes during the agitation wash phase. Ensure items are
colourfast before using SOAK.
When you select
SOAK your washer will soak for a period of twohours before completing
RINSE and SPIN. During SOAK your washer will agitate for a few seconds every minute.
Note: if the
SOAK option is selected on a QUICK cycle, the soak time will be one hour only.
Soak is not available on the Wool cycle.
To exit
SOAK early, touch and select RINSE. Change the spin speed if necessary (eg select
300 if washing delicate or creasable items) and touch .
Eco
Use the
ECO RINSE option to save water. The ECO RINSE option uses a spray rinse which
has been specially designed to use at least 25% less water than a traditional rinse. Use this
option when you want to use less detergent and less water. However, if you have low water
pressure or sensitive skin it is better to use a traditional rinse.
The
ECO RINSE option has not been designed to be used with fabric softener, as it does not
have a deep rinse to dispense the softener correctly. Fabric softener should not be used if
this option is selected.
ECO RINSE is available on selected cycles only. If you try to select this option on other cycles
your washer will skip over the option. The wash cycle will take slightly longer when the ECO
RINSE
option is selected.
There are some wash loads that may not suit being washed using the
ECO RINSE option. For
instance, loads that have a lot of sand or sawdust in them or garments where the colour
still runs from them.
DO NOT use your washer to soak items in bleach or sanitiser and if you’ve soaked items in
a bucket, do not tip the contents of the bucket into your washer. The chemicals in these
products are very corrosive to metal surfaces and can damage your washer. Rinse and
wring items out thoroughly before placing them in your washer.
