If you have previously used a top load agitator type
works differently.
This washer uses much less water per load of washing,
and does it by the two new technologies described below.
In most wash and deep rinses the recirculation system is active
and a recirculation pump runs to keep water at a low level in the
outer bowl, and at a correct level in the washbowl. Recirculation
saves 33% of wash and deep rinse water.
However, to give better wash results for some types of loads,
soil levels and detergent combinations, some programs do not
have the recirculation system active in the wash stage, and some
programs do not have the recirculation system active in both
the wash and deep rinse stages. (see Recirculation system active
programs on page 7).
Eco rinse is the preferred rinsing option. It is done by spraying
water on the clothes, spinning the water out and repeating this
sequence four more times. Deep rinse is available but the clothes
are fully submerged in rinse water before draining and final spin.
Eco and deep are both effective at removing detergent.
In this washer Eco rinse saves 75% of the deep rinse water
used in a traditional top load agitator machine.
Choosing program settings in which the recirculation system is
active (see table on page 7), and choosing an Eco rinse, will use
less than half the water of traditional top load washing machines.

How does recirculation work?
When program settings activate the recirculation system, it works
as follows:
Excess water in the outer bowl is pumped into the inner
washbowl through a newly developed recirculation system.
Control of the water flow from the inner washbowl to the outer
bowl has been achieved through the redesign of the washbowl
drain holes.
The improved water efficiency of your new washing machine is
achieved by utilising the water in the outer bowl.
After your washing machine has filled with water for your wash,
the recirculation pump will begin to draw down water from the
outer bowl and pump it into the inner washbowl.
The recirculation pump cycles ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’. This maintains the
correct level of water in the washbowl while keeping the water in
the outer bowl to a minimum.
The recirculation pump will continue to operate for a short time
if the lid is opened, allowing you to observe the working water
level height in the washbowl.
If the lid is kept open longer than 10 seconds, the pump will stop.
The water level in the washbowl will eventually drop a maximum
100mm as water drains from the inner to outer bowl.
The water level may appear to be too low for your wash.
However, closing the lid will cause the water level in the
washbowl to rise to the correct working level as the recirculation
pump transfers water from the outer bowl to the washbowl.
The stop and go flow of the recirculation pump also effectively
keeps the pump free and clear of lint.
NOTE: You will hear the recirculation pump switching on and off
during wash and deep rinse stages.
Patent Pending
The design of the inner washbowl is the most obvious change to
your washing machine.
Gone are the hundreds of drain holes normally seen in the
washbowl. These have been replaced with a few slot shaped
holes inside water droplet shaped indentations arranged evenly
around the washbowl wall.
The number and design of the drain holes control the flow of
water from the washbowl to the outer bowl.
