SAVING WATER AND ENERGY
This washing machine features water and energy saving options.
To save energy, the wash time can be shortened for a load of less dirty clothes by selecting the appropriate wash
program e.g. Fast Wash.
The washing machine is energy efficient and most water efficient when used with a full load of clothes and with
Eco Rinse selected. You should use Eco Rinse (where available) instead of Deep Rinse to reduce the amount of
water used for rinsing clothes.
Your machine is most water efficient when Eco Rinse is used as the rinse option.
Each time you switch on your washing machine the machine will select most suitable rinse option for the selected
program. You can change rinse option if you wish. See page 13 for more detail. The difference between Deep
rinse and Eco rinse is explained on the next page.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DEEP RINSE AND ECO RINSE OPTIONS.
(See page 13 for rinse option instructions)
Eco Rinse Option
When Eco rinse is used, rinse water is sprayed into the wash bowl in pulses. After each pulse the wash
bowl will spin to remove detergent laden water from the clothes.
Normally the machine will go through a series of six pulse sprays and short spin cycles in this manner,
followed by the final long spin that removes the water from the clothes to complete the wash.
In some wash programs, the series of pulses, sprays and short spins may be less than six, e.g. Fast Wash has
only 3 eco sprays for both Eco rinse and Fast rinse.
By selecting Eco rinse instead of Deep rinse, considerably less water will be used to remove detergent and
dirty water from your clothes. However, the wash cycle will take longer to complete with Eco rinse. As a guide,
Deep rinse uses approx. 40% more water than Eco rinse.
Eco rinse is not available with the Woollens or
Deep rinse is automatically selected for you.
Bedding wash programs. When you choose these two programs,
Deep Rinse Option
When Deep rinse is used, rinse water enters the washing machine filling up to the wash water level
selected. The machine will then agitate and finally empty the water through the drain hose.
For the same wash cycle settings, Deep rinse uses up to 40% more water than Eco rinse but it
will take less time to complete a full wash.

ABOUT YOUR WASHING MACHINE
Out of balance interruption
The washing machine can stop during the spin stage of a wash because of an out of balance condition.
The display will show “ ” and you will hear a sh ort beep every second.
Out of balance during spin is caused by an uneven distribution of clothes in the wash bowl.
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 wash bowl.
Closing the lid will start the machine and continue the spin stage of the wash.
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.
Touchpad response and lights
Always press touchpads gently.
Watch the lights on the control panel to see the effect pressing a touchpad or turning a program selector knob
has, and listen for ‘BEEPS’.
When you press a touchpad you will get a short ‘BEEP’ to acknowledge the entry. If the option is not available
at the time, the machine will not allow you to select it. After the machine has started, the entire wash option
touchpad will be disabled and machine will show “ ” on the display with three short beeps to indicate the
touchpad is disabled. The Start/Hold To Pause touchpad is still active but you need to press and hold the
touchpad for minimum 1.2 seconds to pause machine. This is to confirm that you really want to pause the
machine. When in pause mode, all options will be able to be changed again.
NOTE:
All functions of the washing machine will stop when the lid is open, except for pump out before spin.

Follow the instructions in this section for the best washing results.
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 example are listed below:
LINT COLLECTORS
Corduroy
Synthetics
Permanent press fabrics
Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.
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.
LINT PRODUCERS
Towels
Nappies
Chenille/Candlewick
IMPORTANT:
Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers can damage plastic components in your
washing machine.
If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply them to the clothing well
away from your washing machine.
When loading the clothes into your washing machine, there are four things to
remember:
Clothes must be loaded evenly around the agitator. For best results load
1.
small items first, followed by large items.
Clothes must not be wrapped around the agitator.
2.
The washing machine must not be overloaded. Clothes must be able to move
3.
during the washing cycle.
The load should contain only three or four large items, for example sheets.
4.
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.
