WASHER CONTROLS

SmartTouch™ Control Dial

The SmartTouch™ Control Dial provides easy and efficient wash cycle selection. As you rotate the dial, the icon of the wash cycle selected will be illuminated, along with the default settings for that cycle on the right side of the control panel.

SmartTouch™ buttons

The smooth, easy clean buttons enable easy selection of options with lights clearly showing the selections you are making.

SmartTouch™ Control Dial

Digital display screen

The digital display screen provides feedback on how long the wash cycle has to go. If you have programmed a ‘Delay Start’, the time remaining until the cycle will start will be displayed here, along with any messages to help you with the overall running of your washer (eg user warnings).

Time to go

Your washer displays approximately how many minutes the cycle you are running has remaining, so that you can tell at a glance when your washing will be finished.

Please be aware that a number of factors can influence the overall cycle time, eg the water flow rate, water pressure, whether hot water is being used from the tap or the water is heated by the internal heater, load size, cycle and option selections. Therefore cycle times will vary. Unexpected factors in a wash cycle (eg out of balance, oversudsing) can lengthen the cycle time. The time remaining is constantly updated taking these factors into account, which may mean the time displayed for the cycle becomes longer than was initially estimated.

Progress lights

The progress lights indicate what part of the cycle the washer is currently on (wash, rinse or spin). All three lights are on at the beginning of the cycle. The light for the current part of the cycle flashes, and each one goes out when that part of the cycle is complete.

SORTING AND LOADING

When preparing your wash load there are some important things to consider:

Sorting

Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites, especially when they are new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at higher temperatures. Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water. Oily soils (eg some foods and marks on shirt collars) are best washed in warm water. The following are recommendations for what cycles and settings you may wish to wash different items on, and suggestions for special wash requirements.

SORTING AND LOADING

Before you load



Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.



Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your washer and your clothes.



Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag before placing in the machine.



Pre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer as they can cause damage to the plastic surfaces.

Your washer will be more efficient when washing larger loads, so try to collect enough items to loosely fill the drum when the items are dry.

ImpORTANT!



Do not overload your washing machine beyond its rated capacity.



Please do not under any circumstances wash an electric blanket in your washer.



Do not wash curtains in this washer, as sunlight makes them brittle and they may disintegrate during washing.

PUSH

DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER

Detergent type

Your washer requires low sudsing detergent to prevent oversudsing problems. Low sudsing detergent comes in powder, liquid or pod form and is labelled ‘Front Loading’, ‘Low Suds’, ‘High Efficiency’ or ‘HE’.

Using top loading detergent in your front loader washer may lead to excessive suds formation, which will lengthen the cycle time as the machine waits for the suds to dissolve.

Where do I put my detergent?

Powdered or liquid detergent is added to the main wash detergent compartment on

the left side of the dispensing drawer marked with a ‘2’. As the machine fills, water is flushed through this compartment to deliver a detergent solution into the drum.

Pods – Detergent pods are a ‘no mess’ alternative to powdered or liquid detergent. They must be placed at the back of the drum prior to loading your clothes. This will ensure they are activated quickly in the wash. Do not place pods in the detergent dispenser drawer.

If you wish to use the ‘Pre Wash’ option, liquid or powdered detergent only must be placed in the prewash detergent compartment on the right side of the drawer, marked with a ‘1’. When you select ‘Pre Wash’, the pre wash compartment is flushed at the start of the cycle.

compartment marked ‘1’

‘Pre Wash’ optionDetergent in the prewash

ImpORTANT!



If you select the ‘Pre Wash’ you cannot use liquid detergent in the main wash detergent compartment. You must use powdered detergent for the main wash.



Make sure the detergent dispenser draw is completely closed before starting the cycle.



If using ‘Delay Start’ we recommend you use powdered detergent for the main wash.

DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER

How much detergent?

The correct detergent dosage varies depending on the amount of soil in your load, the size of the load and the water quality, so getting the correct dose takes some trial and error. Use the instructions stated on the detergent package as a guide, then alter the dosage according to the results.

If you overdose, you will get over foaming issues, but if you under-dose you will get poor performance and over time your washer will start to smell as scum builds up inside it.

Detergent advice

If your washer smells you are probably not using enough detergent for the soil level

in your loads. Run a ‘Drum Clean’ cycle and either buy a better quality detergent or use a higher dose. If you are using an ‘Eco’ detergent, alternate the use of this with a mainstream detergent.

Add the detergent BEFORE starting the cycle, close the dispenser and do not open it

while the cycle is running.

If you find foam leaking from your washer, check you are using a low sudsing or front

loader type detergent and check the quantity you are using against the detergent manufacturers recommendation. You may need to reduce the amount you are using.

Fabric softener

Fabric softener is added to the middle compartment of the dispenser marked with a . The washer will automatically flush the softener during the rinse.

If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend to:

Use it sparingly. Measure it carefully and do not use more than 25mls (½cap) (some

thicker varieties may need diluting).

Clean your dispenser regularly.

Clean your machine regularly using the ‘Drum Clean’ cycle.

Complete wash cycles at a wash temperature of 40°C or above at regular intervals

(eg every 5thwash) as washing in cold water increases the chance of scrud occurring (see below).

Note: if you fill beyond the MAX mark, the fabric softener will be dispensed into the bowl prematurely and contribute to scrud.

Scrud

Scrud is the name of the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when fabric softener comes in contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the machine. If scrud is allowed to build up in the machine it can result in stains on clothes and an unpleasant smell in your washer.

WASH CYCLES

WH7060P and WH8060P models

Your washer has a number of wash cycles to suit your laundering needs. Selecting the most appropriate cycle for each particular wash load will help ensure you get the best wash result.

If you wash a particularly dirty load, we recommend putting the washer through a

‘Rinse’ cycle once the cycle has finished and the load has been removed, to clean out any remnants from that cycle and to prevent contamination of the next loads that are washed.

WASH CYCLE OPTIONS

All wash cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on the average expected load to be washed. You can vary the options (eg ‘Wash Temp’, ‘Spin Speed’) to create your desired cycle. Note: some options are not available on some cycles, for clothes care reasons, or because the option is not appropriate for the cycle.

To change a wash option or options you have selected after a cycle has started, touch

and select your new setting, then touch again to resume the cycle with the new setting or settings. Note: some options may not be available for selection under certain conditions and after particular stages of the cycle have passed.

Wash Temp

Your washer offers five wash temperatures:

Cold 30°C 40°C 60°C 90°C



Simply touch the ‘Wash Temp’ button to increase or decrease the wash temperature.



The washer will fill with both hot and cold water to achieve the selected wash temperature. If required the washer will heat the water to the selected temperature.



Some temperatures are not available on some cycles as a safeguard for your clothes (eg60°C and 90°C on the ‘Handwash’ cycle).

ImpORTANT!

When 90°C temperature is selected, the door glass will become hot. Do not touch the glass part of the door. Keep children away from the washer.

Spin Speed



Your WH7060P or WH8060P model of washer offers four spin speeds: 500rpm, 800rpm, 1100rpm and 1400rpm, plus an additional ‘No Spin’ option.



Your WH7060J or WH8060J model of washer offers three spin speeds: 500rpm, 800rpm, 1200rpm, plus an additional ‘No Spin’ option.



Simply increase or decrease the spin speed by touching the ‘Spin Speed’ button.



Selecting ‘No Spin’ will end the cycle after the rinse, allowing you to remove items you wish to drip dry. Note: the washer will complete the default wash and rinse spins for the cycle; only the final spin will not be completed. If you have removed the items you wish to drip dry and there are items remaining that you would like to proceed to spin, press and select the ‘Spin’ cycle. If necessary, modify the spin speed to best care for your load (ie spin delicate items at 500rpm for best garment care).

Soil Level (WH7060P and WH8060P models only)

The ‘Soil Level’ option lets you adjust the wash to suit the amount of soil in your load. For example, select ‘Heavy’ for dirty clothes; for items that are only lightly soiled, select ‘Light’. This adjusts the wash time accordingly to give the load the right amount of agitation to remove the soil.

WASH CYCLE OPTIONS

Wash Boost

Pre Wash

For extra dirty loads you can perform a ‘Pre Wash’. Your washer will start the wash with a short wash in cool water to remove excess soil. After this the machine will drain and then fill at the selected temperature for the main wash.

If you use the ‘Pre Wash’ option, liquid or powdered detergent needs to be placed in the correct detergent compartment. The pre wash compartment is on the right hand side of the drawer, marked ‘1’. When you select ‘Pre Wash’, the compartment is flushed at the start of the cycle. The detergent for the main wash must be a powder, and should be placed in the compartment marked ‘2’.

Simply touch the ‘Wash Boost’ button and select ‘Pre Wash’ when choosing your wash options. Note: ‘Pre Wash’ cannot be selected after a wash cycle has been started, ie if you touch and try to select ‘Pre Wash’ it will be unavailable. ‘Pre Wash’ must be selected at the start of the cycle.

Rinse+

If you have a particularly dirty load, or you have sensitive skin and wish to give your clothes an extra rinse, select ‘Rinse+’ from the ‘Wash Boost’ options. Your load will undergo an extra rinse to get rid of any residual detergent or soil in the items. Note: ‘Rinse+’ will not be available if the ‘Eco’ option has been selected.

Options

Wrinkle Free (WH7060P and WH8060P models only)

We recommend you remove the clothes from the washer immediately after the completion of the cycle to minimise wrinkling and creasing of items and to prevent dye run. However, if you will not be present at the end of the wash you can select ‘Wrinkle Free’.

When ‘Wrinkle Free’ is selected, the washer will tumble the clothes once every 15minutes for up to 12 hours after the cycle has finished. The ‘Wrinkle Free’ light and

button will flash, and the washer will beep at regular intervals to remind you to remove your load. To remove the load during this phase, simply press the button.

Eco

Use the ‘Eco’ option to save water and energy. Selecting ‘Eco’ will reduce the wash temperature slightly and alter the wash time.

Note: this option will not be available if ‘Pre Wash’ has been selected.



If you wish to, you can select both the ‘Pre Wash’ and ‘Rinse+’ ‘Wash Boost’ options to perform on the same cycle. Likewise, you can select ‘Eco’ and ‘Wrinkle Free’ to perform on the same cycle. Touch the appropriate button until both options are selected. Repeat to deselect an option.



For clothes care and performance reasons not all options may be available on some cycles.

WASH CYCLE OPTIONS

Add a Garment (WH7060P and WH8060P models only)

The ‘Add a Garment’ option enables you to add or remove items during the wash stage of the cycle, under certain conditions. Once the ‘Add a Garment’ button is touched, the

button and time to go will flash. Wait until you hear the door unlock. Open the door and add or remove items. Close the door and touch to restart the cycle. The ‘Add a Garment’ button will only operate during the wash part of the cycle and when the temperature selected is lower than 60°C. ‘Add a Garment’ can be used when the total wash volume has been reached, as your washer will drain the water to a lower level if necessary, so the door can be opened.

Keylock

This option enables you to deactivate the buttons on the display panel, except for the ‘Power’ and ‘Keylock’ buttons. This prevents accidental button presses.

To turn Keylock mode ON or OFF when the washer is powered on:



Touch and hold the button for 2 seconds.

Note: when activated, the light above the button is illuminated.

If Keylock mode is activated and the machine is powered off:



To turn your washer on, press the button, then touch and hold the button for twoseconds. Select your wash cycle, options and then touch to start the cycle.



To turn the washer off at anytime when keylock is activated simply press the button.

Delay Start

The ‘Delay Start’ option enables you to delay the start of the wash cycle from between 5minutes and 12hours. Times you can select are 5min, 15min, 30min, 1hour, then hourly up to 12hours. This can be useful to time your washing to finish when you arrive home from work, or to start once you have finished in the shower. Some stain removers also require you to spray them on then leave for several minutes, before washing. Your washer will wait for the selected time then start without you having to wait or remember to start your machine.

To programme a ‘Delay Start’ time, simply touch the ‘More’ button to increase the delay time and ‘Less’ button to decrease the time or turn ‘Delay Start’ off. Touch to confirm your selection and start the countdown. Once started, the time will count down on the digital display screen in 1 minute increments, the ‘Delay Start’ light will flash and the light will stop flashing and turn on solid.

Note: if you hold the ‘More’ button down, the time displayed on the screen will increase after every half a second (more convenient than touching the button repetitively).

To remove a ‘Delay Start’ time once it is counting down, simply touch , then touch the ‘Less’ button to decrease the time to zero. Touch to start the cycle immediately.

Note: we suggest that you avoid using ‘Delay Start’ for damp, non-colourfast items as this may cause dye run to occur. We also recommend you use powder detergent when you use the ‘Delay Start’ function.

CUSTOMISING WASH CYCLES

After using your washer a few times you may discover there are some wash options you prefer for some cycles.

You can programme your washer to remember the wash options you prefer for each wash cycle. For instance, you may want to set the ‘Easy Iron’ cycle to cold wash temperature or set the ‘Everyday’ cycle so it gives you Rinse+ every cycle.

To customise a cycle:

Press to turn the machine on.

Turn the dial to select the cycle you wish to customise.

Touch and hold any of the wash option buttons for 3seconds. The cycle icon will flash

on and off to indicate that the product is in cycle adjustment mode. The display will show .

Select the wash options you prefer by touching the relevant option button.

Touch to save the selected settings.

Your washer will automatically remember your changes for all future washes you do on this cycle.

Factory Reset

You can reset your washer to the default settings it left the factory with:

Turn the dial to select ‘Spin’.

Touch and hold the ‘Delay Start’ ‘More’ , the ‘Delay Start’ ‘Less’ and ‘Options’

buttons together for 3seconds.

Your washer will now be reset to the default settings.

CARING FOR YOUR WASHER

When you have finished using your washer



Unplug the machine from the power socket.



Wipe around the door and in the rubber gasket to remove any remaining water and foreign matter.



Turn off the taps to prevent the chance of flooding should a hose burst.

Cleaning your washer

Before you start cleaning your washer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power (ieunplug the machine from the power socket).

Cleaning the control panel and outer surfaces of the washer

Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, then wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or scouring cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your washer.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Wipe out the detergent dispenser drawer with a damp cloth. Clean it regularly, especially if you use fabric softener. To remove the drawer, pull it open, push down on the blue tab in the fabric softener compartment (labelled ‘PUSH’) and pull out. Rinse it out under warm water and replace.

Cleaning the inside of your washer

It is important that you regularly clean the inside of your machine using the ‘Drum Clean’ cycle. After 100cycles your washer will flash the icon every time you turn your washer on to remind you to do this. If your washer starts to smell this is a sign that you should complete a ‘Drum Clean’ cycle. We recommend that you do not have any items in the washer when you run this cycle.

Cleaning steps

Add approximately 2 full scoops of a good quality powdered

detergent directly into the main wash detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer (marked ‘2’) or use a drum cleaning product specifically designed for front loading washing machines (follow manufacturer’s instructions).

Press to turn your machine on and select the ‘DrumClean’

cycle.

Touch to start the cycle (refer to the ‘Wash cycles’ section).

‘Drum Clean’ cycle

Cleaning the drum and the door



Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the door, cleaning any water marks or residue off it.



Wipe the rubber ring around the door. Remove any items or lint accumulating in the bottom of the ring catchment and wipe out any water accumulated here. If this is not cleaned out, unpleasant odours will develop.



If the drum has any residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe the drum clean. Do not leave any metal objects in the drum as these may rust and cause staining.

Do not allow children to swing on or place any weight on the door when open as this may cause damage.

CARING FOR YOUR WASHER

Cleaning the pump filter

The pump has a filter to trap foreign objects that enter the washer along with clothing. The pump filter can be accessed from the front of the washer.

To clean the filter:

This should be cleaned out approximately once a month.

Turn the power off and unplug the machine.

Use a coin to open the filter cover. Place the edge of the coin

into the slot and tilt upwards whilst levering the cover open.

Unhook the pump outlet hose and pull it out (about 150mm).

Remove the plug and allow any water (approximately 250mls) to drain into a shallow dish.

After the draining process is complete, replace the plug into

the hose and refit the hose back into the housing.

Remove the filter by turning anti-clockwise. Clean and rinse

under a tap.

Replace the filter by turning clockwise until the white mark on

the filter is in line with the white line on the pump housing.

Drain residual water

CARING FOR YOUR WASHER

Cleaning the hoses

Each hose has a filter in it, preventing any solid contaminants in the water entering your washing machine. Occasionally you should unscrew the water inlet hoses where they connect to the taps, check these for any build up of dirt and wash this out.

Nappy sanitisers/bleach

Nappy sanitisers and bleach are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT tip the contents of a nappy bucket into your machine. Rinse and wring items out thoroughly before placing them in the machine.

Moving your washer

If you need to move your washer a considerable distance (eg moving house), remember to replace the transit bolts before moving it. These will protect internal components of

the washer from damage.

To replace the transit bolts, pull out the bolt-hole covers in the back of the machine. Push the transit bolt rubber grommets and plastic spaces into the hole left and tighten it with the spanner provided with the product.

Make sure any water in the washer is drained out. This can be done by cleaning out the pump filter (refer to ‘Caring for your washer’ section ‘Cleaning the pump filter’).

ImpORTANT!

Leave the door to your washer open when it is not in use to allow the washer to dry out, otherwise it will develop unpleasant odours. When leaving the door open like this, it is extremely important that children and pets are kept away from the washer so they cannot be accidentally trapped inside it.

Aside from the detergent dispenser, water hoses, and the pump filter, no other parts are designed to be removed from the machine for cleaning. Do not attempt to remove any other part of the machine.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

User warnings

Your washer is capable of diagnosing a number of its own problems. It will sound a continuous series of beeps and display a code when it has a problem that you can correct yourself. All control panel lights will turn off and the code will be displayed to inform you what the problem is. To stop the beeps, press any button on the control panel. Do not try to continue washing once you stop the noise. You must address the problem the washer is alerting you to.
