2.2 Product Features
Auto sensing water level
Auto sensing is a feature where the washer fills automatically with water to just the right level for your clothes load.
You do have the option to manually set the water level if you wish.
We recommend you use the auto sensing water level option to ensure there is just the right amount of water for the wash load in the machine. In other words, it will usually give you the best wash while also being the most efficient in terms of water usage.
At times during a wash, it may appear your machine is either doing nothing or intermittently it is only gently vibrating/ jiggling/agitating.
This is because your machine could be:
• In auto sensing test mode and the machine is determining the correct amount of water for your wash.
• At a drain stage of the wash program and the machine is allowing time for water to flow the washbowl from to the out bowl.
• Engaging or disengaging the drive clutch mechanism. Wait a short time, your washing machine will complete the above tasks and continue with the wash.
The amount of water for auto is factory set at an optimised level. You can adjust
the Auto level up or down by a small amount.
Power Failure Recovery
When there is power failure while the machine
is washing or rinsing or spinning. The machine tries to save the settings at which stage the machine is doing and then when the power returns back the machine will start washing from the stage where it is left off.
PreMix
This feature helps to dissolve and activate the active ingredients of the detergent, by blending the detergent with the water (except Fast 20 program), before dispensing into the tub and onto the clothes.
Dual Jets System
Dual jets help to improve cleaning results by spraying directly on the clothes and give a more thorough rinse-out of stains and dirt.

The water temp lights will tell you the temperature for each press of the button.
You have four temperatures to choose from Hot, Warm, Normal and Cold.
The temperature of warm water will depend on the temperature and pressure of your hot and cold water supplies. The recommended temperature for warm is 35°C.
You can adjust the flow rate of the water supplies to adjust the Warm temperature. All rinse water temperatures are cold.
Always check your label for the washing temperature symbols which the International Care Labelling Code now uses
Cold,Warm, Hot.
If you have a cold water connection ONLY and the hot inlet valve is capped off (refer installation instructions) you must select Cold washes only.
Rinse Touchpad
Pressing the Rinse touchpad to choose the rinse type for your wash load. For most washes, the machine automatically fills the full tub of water for a rinse.
There are four rinses to choose from Extra, Regular, Fast and Eco to remove the detergent from the clothes.
Extra rinse - 2 rinses cycles.
Regular rinse - 1 rinse cycle.
Fast rinse - Spraying water 3 rinses
cycles.
Eco - Spraying water 4 rinses cycles.
How does Eco Rinse work?
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 4 pulses 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.
