SECTION A: Knowing your washing machine

PARTS OF THE WASHING MACHINE

SAVING WATER AND ENERGY

This booklet talks about different parts of your washing machine.
The main ones you need to know are shown on the diagrams below.

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 14

for more detail.

The difference between Deep rinse and Eco rinse is explained on the next page.

The different models

(See page 14 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.

By selecting Eco rinse instead of Deep rinse, considerably less water will be used to r

emove
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 Bedding wash programs. When you choose these
two programs, Deep rinse is automatically selected for you.

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.

CONTROL PANEL

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DEEP RINSE AND ECO RINSE OPTIONS.

MODELS: SWT554, SWT604

Check the control panels for the one which matches your washing machine.

Each model has different features and a different control panel. The diagrams on this page and page 5 show what you

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 short 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.

2 3 4 5 76

E17

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.

Button response and lights

Always press buttons gently.

Watch the lights on the control panel to see the effect pressing a button or turning a program
selector knob has, and listen for ‘BEEPS’.

When you press a button 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 button will be disabled and machine will show “ ” on the
display with three short beeps to indicate the button is disabled. The start button is still active
but you need to press and hold the button for 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 wash

ing machine will stop when the lid is open, except for pump out

before spin.

ADD THE DETERGENT

1. Measure the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent by
following the recommendations on the package.

2. Mix detergent in one litre of hot or warm water.

3. Add the pre-mixed detergent to the wash load.

Don’t do these things:

* Using too little detergent will give you a poor wash result.

* Using excessive detergent will create to many suds and may cause

overloading of the motor during the spin stage of the wash cycle.
To avoid excessive suds, reduce the amount of detergent you use.
It is best to use detergent labelled low sudsing.
Good quality, front load detergent will perform well in this machine.

* Use soap based products in your washing machine.

ADD FABRIC SOFTENER

1. Measure the correct amount of fabric softener by following the
recommendations on the package.

2. Mix softener with an equal amount of warm water but only mix
enough to fill to the line marked inside the

cup. The softener cup

holds 75ml.

3. Pour the mixed softener into the cup in the top of the agitator.

Do not overfill the cup.

4. Do not spill fabric softener on the clothes as it may stain them.

IMPORTANT: If you are going to use fabric softener, you must select
the DEEP RINSE option, i.e deselect the ECO RINSE option.
Also if softener is used frequently the machine must be flushed out
regularly refer Page 18.

NOTE: You do not have to use fabric softener, your washing machine

will wash the clothes perfectly well without it.

ADDING BLEACH

Bleaching of clothes can help to remove stains, heavy soiling and
to kill bacteria.

Oxygen type - This is generally a powder type bleach.
Mix the required quantity with water and pour down the hole in the
top panel during the fill when there is some water in the wash bowl.
Refer to the instructions on the bl

each container.

Chlorine type - This type of bleach should not be mixed with detergent.
Mix the bleach with water as per the instructions on the container.

Turn PROGRAM SELECTOR to a Regular Wash position.

Press the START/PAUSE button to commence water fill.

Pour the bleach solution down the hole in the top panel during fill
when there is some water in the wash bowl.

Allow the machine to agitate for a few minutes, then let it stand for

the required time by pressing the START/PAUSE button.

Turn PROGRAM SELECTOR to Drain & Spin

position and press the

START/PAUSE button to empty the wash bowl.

You can now wash the clothes load using detergent and your selected
wash program.

NOTE: Bleach should not be used on silk, wool, rayon or drip dry
clothes.

The table “YOUR PROGRAM GUIDE” shown on page 10 will help you in
selecting the right program.

The Program Selector knob is not a timer.
Once you select a wash program, the Program Selector knob will stay
at that position for the whole wash cycle.

You can turn the Program Selector Knob to a new program positio

n at any time.

If you do move the Program Selector Knob the effect will be different depending on the status of the machine
at the time you do this, as follows:

1. When the machine is in pause mode, moving the Knob to a new position will result in the machine resetting
to the start of the new program.

(For pause mode, see “Machine in pause mode” page 12)

2. When the machine is running, moving the Knob to a new position will result in the machine continuing the
wash and it will show “ ” on the display with 3 consecutive short beeps to remind you that this option is
not allowed.

(For machine running, see

“Wash cycle in progress” page 12)

NOTE:

When you select the DRAIN & SPIN program, there will be a delay of at least 2 minute before

the washing machine starts to spin. This delay is a pump out (DRAIN) period to ensure the bowl is empty
of water, which is necessary before spin commences. Even though you may have only put wet clothes into
an empty bowl, the delay before spin will still occur to be safe and to protect your washing machine.

When you choose the WOOLLENS and BEDDING program, the DEEP RINSE option is automatically
selected for you. You will not be able to select and use Eco Rinse and Fast Rinse with these two
programs.

Pressing the “Rinse Option” button allows you to change the rinse type.

For most washes the machine automatically selects “Deep Rinse” for you.

Extra

(Models: SWT554, SWT604, SWT704, SWT954)

Deep

Eco

Fast

There are four rinses to choose from… Fast rinse, Eco rinse, Deep rinse and
Extra rinse.

Extra rinse, the machine fills twice, giving you two deep rinses.

Deep rinse the machine fills once, giving you one deep rinse.

Fast rinse uses less time then Eco rinse by performing only 3 Eco
sprays but the amount of water in each spray is increased.

Eco rinse is a spray rinse giving you maximum water saving.

When Eco Rinse is used, rinse water is sprayed into the washbowl in
pulses. After each pulse the washbowl will spin to remove detergent laden
water from the clothes.

The machine will go through a series of
maximum six pulse spray and short spin cycles
in this manner, depending on program
selection, followed by a final long spin that
removes the water from the clothes to complete
the full wash program.

Compare this with deep rinse where much more water is used.

For deep rinse, water enters the machine filling up to the wash water level selected. The washer
agitates and finally empties the rinse water through the drain hose.

Extra rinse, this is special option for those people who suffer from allergies, this extra rinse will provide
two deep rinses to ensure all detergent residue has been removed.

Eco Rinse and Fast Rinse cannot be selected with Woollens and Bedding program.

How does Eco Rinse work ?

We strongly recommend you use Eco rinse for your washes whenever you can. There is
considerable saving of water when Eco is used instead of Deep or Extra to rinse clothes.

Eco rinse is not designed to be used with fabric softener. Select Deep or Extra rinse if you are
going to use fabric softener. Deep rinse ensures the fabric softener is correctly dispensed
and thoroughly removed from your clothes during rinsing.

ECO OPTION

Water Return

(Model: SWT754)

Pressing the “Eco Option” button allows you to change the Eco options.

to return water to the washing machine from the laundry trough.

Before you save water, make sure that the laundry trough has enough capacity or an overflow drain
is fitted to avoid flooding onto the floor. The recommended size for the laundry trough is 104 litres.

At the start of the WATER RETURN cycle the pump and hose are primed by letting some water from the
tap into the washing machine and then pumping it out into the trough.

This is a normal process, DO NOT turn the washing machine OFF during this process.

Refer also to the Installation Instructions supplied with your washing machine for more information.
It will tell you how to position the drain hose and suds return hose for efficient working of the water
saving options.

NOTE: You cannot select Wash Water save and Rinse Water save together,
only one or the other.

You can save energy, water and detergent by reusing the sudsy wash water. Or you can save just water using
rinse save.

When a WATER SAVE option and ECO RINSE are used together, you have the ability to take advantage of the
full water saving options.

Follow the instructions on this page to return saved water to the washing machine and the instructions on page 16
to save water.

At each press of the Eco Option button pad you will get a different combination of water save and rinse options to
choose from.

This model has only two types of rinses which are Eco Rinse and Deep Rinse. This can be
identified by if the Eco Rinse light is on the machine will do the Eco Rinse, if the Eco light is off
the machine will perform a Deep Rinse.

To return water from the laundry trough to the washing machine proceed as follows:

The machine needs small amount of water to prime the pump for water return, therefore the taps must be turned on.
If there isn’t any water entering the tub the machine will show ‘ ’ After 5 minutes.

Make sure that the hot and cold taps are turned on.

Press the ECO OPTION button pad until the WATER RETURN light is ‘ON’.

Press the START/PAUSE button pad to start the Water Return cycle.

The Water Return cycle will stop and the WATER RETURN light will go ‘OFF’ when the

Hints for removing stains

Treat all stains as soon as possible. The longer you leave a stain the harder it

will be to remove.

Try soakers and stain removers first.

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 clothes items
in a well ventilated area away from your washing machine.

Avoid the use of hot water on stains as hot water will set stains.
Use light strokes and don’t rub the stain remover into the fabric.
If you use a chlorine bleach, follow the instructions on the bottle and dilute it

before putting it on clothing.

Test coloured fabrics on an inside seam for colour fastness before using any

stain removers or bleaches.

Test synthetic fabrics on an inside seam before using any chemicals or

bleaches.

IMPORTANT: Do not use dry cleaning fluids near your washing machine. These
fluids will damage your washing machine and may cause an explosion.
