4 Simpson Washing Instructions
you should get good wash results by following them.
However, due to the variables of fabric types, soil levels, detergent
types and available program settings you may find some combinations
of these which do not always result in the perfect wash.
If for example you see residuals of detergent or soils on some items,
please read the section Residues on washed items on page 13.
Over time you will learn what is the best set-up of programs,
detergent and load sorting for different load types and soils.
Sort your washing into separate wash loads
Each load of washing should contain clothing which needs the
same washing conditions. For example, you should not wash
delicate clothes with very dirty work clothes.
Some fabrics are lint collectors and can pick up lint, dirt and
colour from other fabrics, which are lint producers. Some
examples are listed below.
Corduroy Towels
Synthetics Nappies
Permanent press fabrics Chenille / Candlewick
Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from
lint producers.
Check your clothes to avoid damage
Empty all pockets. Close all hooks and zippers to avoid
snagging clothes. Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates
in a mesh laundry bag which you can purchase from your
supermarket.
IMPORTANT: Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers can
damage plastic components on your washing machine. If you
use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply them to the
clothing well away from your washing machine.
Load the washing machine
When loading the clothes into your washing machine, there are
four things to remember:
1. Clothes must be loaded evenly around the agitator. For best
results load small items first, followed by large items.
2. Clothes must not be wrapped around the agitator.
3. The washing machine must not be overloaded. Clothes must
be able to move during washing.
4. The load should contain only three or four large items, for
example sheets. The rest of the load should be small items. A
mixed load of large and small items will wash cleaner than a
load of all large items.
The washing machine can stop during rinse and spin stages of a
wash because of an out of balance condition.
To let you know an out of balance interruption has happened,
models 955 & 605 will show ‘ ’ in the digital display and for the
other models all WATER TEMP lights will be flashing.
If an out of balance occurs, the machine may stop spinning and
then start spinning again to try and overcome the out of balance
before alerting you with ‘beeping’.
Out of balance is caused by an uneven distribution of clothes
in the washbowl.
To rectify the out of balance condition, open the lid and
redistribute the clothes evenly in the space between the
agitator and wall of the washbowl.
You will have to wait for the lid to unlock before opening the lid.
The lid is unlocked when the Lid locked light is ‘OFF’.
Closing the lid will start the machine and continue the
wash program.
If you have frequent out of balance interruptions, it may be due
to your washing machine not standing firm and level on the floor.
This can be corrected by adjusting the washing machine
legs as described in the Installation instructions supplied with
your machine.
Using too high a water level for small loads can also cause out
of balance interruption. Select lower water levels when washing
smaller loads.
