Choosing the wash water temperature
For each wash program your washing machine automatically
selects a suitable fill water temperature.
If you want to use a different wash water temperature, press the
WATER TEMP button repeatedly. The water temp lights will tell
you the temperature for each press of the button. You have three
temperatures to choose from ie
The temperature of warm water will depend on the temperature
and pressure of your hot and cold water supplies. The
recommended temperature for warm is 35°C. You can adjust the
flow rate of the water supplies to adjust the Warm temperature.
If you have selected the Woollens program, you will not be able
to select a Hot wash water temperature.
All rinse water temperatures are cold except for the woollens
program.
NOTE: If you have a cold water connection only and the hot
inlet valve is capped off, you must select Cold washes only. (Refer
Installation instructions). Otherwise the machine will sense the
unavailability of hot water for Hot and Warm washes and shutdown.
Components in the washing machine are designed to be used with
water no hotter than 70°C. If your water supply is too hot, you
should have a temperature limiting valve fitted by a qualified plumber.
Setting the water level
Choose the water level by turning the WATER LEVEL knob.
You can select:
With this option the machine will determine for you what level
of water is needed for the wash load you have put into the
washbowl and automatically fills with water to that level.

The time taken for a wash program to finish changes with
different program settings, and program times may be longer if
the water pressure in your home is low.
Your machine is programmed with the recirculation system
active in most wash and deep rinse stages of the various wash
programs. The following table shows when the recirculation is
active during wash and deep rinse, for the different settings of
Wash Program and Wash Choice.

Setting the wash choice
The WASH CHOICE button lets you have an influence on the
wash time of the selected program. You can choose from three
settings:

sheets etc.
for lightly soiled clothes and delicate items.
Press the WASH CHOICE button if you want to increase or
