PRODUCT FEATURES
2.2
The Westinghouse wash system
1) Wash operation
The agitator & bowl rotates while it is filled
with water to immerse the clothes.
The agitator then rotate to move the
clothes so that the detergent can be
dissolved and activated at the selected
water temperature.
2) Agitation and dilution
After the wash operation is completed,
the bowl is filled with more water. The
agitator then moves in an energy efficient
mode, generating additional mechanical
actions.
Auto Clear Unbalance
The washing machine can stop during the
spin stage of a wash or spin because of
an out of balance condition. Out of
balance during spin is caused by an
uneven distribution of clothes in the wash
bowl. If the washing machine detects this
problem, it will try to clear itself by
following the steps below:
Stop spinning then starts filling to the
1.
selected water level.
Agitates for 3 minutes to redistribute
2.
the clothes.
Drains the water.3.
Starts the spin cycle again.4.
NOTE
-
If the machine detects the problem
again, it will repeat self clearing steps
one more time. If problem reoccurs the
third time, “ ” will be displayed along
with 3 short beeps repeated 3 time
every 15 seconds to get your attention.
To rectify the out of balance condition,
open the lid and wait until the machine
stops spinning, then redistribute the
clothes evenly in the space between the
agitator and wall of the wash bowl. Close
the lid and press the “Start/Pause” button
to continue the spin stage
NOTE
-
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 sheet supplied with your machine.
If “Eco” rinse option selected, this
function will not operate.
-
This function will not operate in “Tub
Cleaning” and Drain + Spin” programs.
-
If “Extra” rinse option is selected, self
clearing steps will be repeated up to 6
times.
Power Failure Recovery
When there is power failure while
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 starts washing
from the stage where it is left off.
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

with three short beeps to indicate the
button is disabled (except Start/Pause
button).
All functions of the washing
machine will stop when the lid is
open.
Enabling/Disabling End-of-Wash
Beeping Mode
This mode permits you to either enable
or disable the beeping (3 beeps every
20 seconds) at the end of the wash. As
an example, you might wish to disable

3.5
RINSE OPTION BUTTON
Pressing the Rinse Option button to
choose the rinse type for your wash
load. For most washes the machine
automatically selects “Deep” rinse
for you.
There are four rinses to choose
from Extra, Deep, Eco and Hold.
Extra rinse, the machine fills
twice, giving you two deep
rinses.
Deep rinse, the machine fills
once, giving you one deep rinse.
Eco rinse, is a spray rinse giving
you maximum water saving.
Hold, by selecting this option the
water of the last rinse is not
emptied out and the drum turns
regularly to prevent the laundry
creases.
After cycle has finished, You
must drain the water from
the washing tub by pressing
“Start/Pause” button to
continue the cycle.
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 six 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.
NOTE:
Compare this with Deep rinse
where much more water is used.
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 CANNOT be selected
with Woollens and Bedding
program.
Extra and Eco rinse is not
designed to be used with fabric
softener.
Select Deep 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.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS4.
These Washing Instructions are of a
general nature and 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 paragraph.
Over time you will learn what is the best
set-up of programs, detergent and load
sorting for different load types and soils.
4.1
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.
Colour fast and non-colourfast
fabrics should be separated.
Knowing the type of fabrics you
have and how dirty they are will
help when you make selections
from the wash program options.
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:
Lint collectors
- Corduroy
- Synthetics
- Permanent
press fabrics
NOTE:
Make sure that you wash lint
collectors separately from lint
producers.
Never wash whites and coloureds
together. Whites may lose their
“whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in
the first wash; they should
therefore be washed separately
the first time.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that no metal objects
are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers.
Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before
washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with
a special detergent or detergent
paste.
Treat curtains with special care.
Lint producers
- Towels
- Nappies
- Chenille/
Candlewick
Page 14
14
Wash bras, pantyhose and other
delicates in a mesh laundry bag,
which you can purchase from
your supermarket.
Remove hooks or tie them up in
a bag or net.
PRE-TREATMENT SPRAYS
4.2
AND STAIN REMOVERS
WARNING!
Pre-treatment sprays and stain
remover 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.
DETERGENT
4.3
Good washing results also depend
on the choice of detergent and use
of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in
large quantities, can upset the
delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will
depend on the type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.),
the colour, washing temperature
and degree of soiling.
Don’t use the wrong type of detergent.
You must use a low sudsing detergent
designed for front load washing
machines or high efficiency top
loaders, such as Cold Power for Front
Loaders and High Efficiency Top
Loaders or detergents labelled “Matic”.
Don’t use soap-based products in
your washing machine.
Don’t use too much detergent. This
can result in excessive suds that can
cause low spin speeds, poor rinsing
and overloading the motor during spin
stages of the wash program.
Don’t use too little detergent because
you will get a poor wash. If you think
you need more, increase dosages by
only small amounts to avoid excessive
suds.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will
depend on the type of fabric, load size,
degree of soiling and hardness of the
water used.
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness.
Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’
instructions on quantities to use.
Not enough washing powder causes:
the washload to turn grey, greasy
clothes.
Too much washing powder causes:
sudsing, reduced washing effect,
inadequate rinsing.
Use less detergent if: you are washing
a small load, the laundry is lightly
soiled, large amounts of foam form
during washing.

DAILY USE5.
STARTING YOUR WASHING
5.1
MACHINE
Connect the mains plug to the
1.
mains socket.
Turn the water tap on.
2.
LOAD THE WASHING
5.2
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 wash.
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.
ADD THE DETERGENT
5.3
Measure the correct amount of
1.
powder or liquid detergent by
following the recommendations
on the package.
Mix detergent in one litre of hot
2.
or warm water.
Add the pre-mixed detergent to
3.
the wash load.
move around
agitator
Don’t do these things:
Using too little detergent will
give you a poor wash result.
Using excessive detergent will
create too much 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.

ADDING BLEACH
ADD FABRIC SOFTENER
5.4
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.
Pour the mixed softener into the
3.
cup in the top of the agitator.
Do not overfill the cup.
Do not spill fabric softener
on the clothes as it may
stain them.
If you are going to use fabric
4.
softener, you must select the
DEEP RINSE option, ie deselect
the ECO RINSEoption.
NOTE: You do not have to use
fabric softener, your washing
machine will wash the clothes
perfectly well without it.
5.5
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
bleach hole in the top panel during
the fill when there is some water in

HAVE FINISHED YOUR
WASHING.
Turn the Program Selector
1.
knob to the position “Off”.
2.
Switch off the electricity at the
power point.
Turn off the water taps. This will

extend the life of the inlet hoses.
4.
Leave lid open for a while. This
allows time for moisture inside
the washing machine to
evaporate and for any odours
to disperse.
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER
6.2
Lint is a collection of threads and
fluff which comes off your clothes
during washing. Your washing
machine collects this lint in the lint
filter. It is important to clean out this
lint filter preferably after each wash.

push out.
How to clean the lint filter:
1.
Remove the softener dispenser
cup and filter
column from
the centre
of the agitator.
Page 20

CLEANING YOUR WASHING
6.3
MACHINE
To clean the inside and outside of
your washing machine you should:
1.
Wipe the surface with a mild
dishwashing detergent and
warm water.
2.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
IMPORTANT:
Never use solvents, alcohol, aerosol
cleaners, spray pack cleaners, glass
cleaners, metal polishes, caustic
materials, scourers or general
household cleaners on or near the
top panel and lid, control panel or
other parts of your washing
machine.
CLEANING STAINS IN THE
6.4
WASHBOWL
Stains in the wash bowl can be
caused by:
metal objects such as bobby
pins, dressmaking pins and nails;
salt;
body oils and grease from very
dirty or sweaty clothes being
deposited around the top of the
washbowl;
excessive foam during wash if
incorrect or too much detergent
is used.
IMPORTANT:
Check all pockets before loading
clothes into your washing
machine.
Don’t leave wet clothing
(especially swimwear) in the bowl
for too long before you wash it.
How To Clean the Stainless
Steel Wash Bowl :
1.
Wipe with a cleaning product
which is marked suitable for
stainless steel.
2.
Oily deposits can be removed
by wiping surfaces with a mild
dishwashing detergent and
warm water.
IMPORTANT:
Never use bleach cleaners or
steel wool to clean the
stainless steel washbowl.
Page 21
AVOIDING BUILD UP OF
6.5
UNDISSOLVED
DETERGENTS
If you only wash with cold water,
undissolved detergent and body
oils will build up in the washing
machine. This build-up can cause
spotting on your clothes.
To avoid this build-up :
do not use too much fabric
softener with cold water;
select a hot water wash at least
once a month;
always dissolve the detergent in
one litre of warm water.

HELPFUL HINTS IN DEALING WITH WASHING PROBLEMS
7.
7.1
RESIDUES ON WASHED
ITEMS
Some detergents have ingredients
which do not fully dissolve and as a
consequence, may leave white
residue or particles evident on the
surface of darker clothes in the
finished wash load. Similarly some
soils may not dissolve fully, resulting
in residue evident on lighter
coloured clothes.
If you are experiencing residue on
some clothes, the following tips will
help:
Check that you are using frontload
type detergent to minimise
over-sudsing. You may find
different brands of detergent give
better results. Liquid detergent
may be better than powder in
your situation.
Pre-mix the detergent thoroughly
in warm or hot water to improve
the dissolving.
Reduce detergent dosage to
between a 1/2 and 2/3 of the
manufacturer’s standard
recommendation to avoid over
concentration (the lower water
usage requires lower detergent
usage.)
Some residue maybe
re-deposited lint, so be careful
not to have lint-producing items
in a load which has darker
clothes.
Select deep rinse and not eco
rinse to help flush more particles
away.
Reduce the clothes load size per
wash to give more freedom for
the clothes to move around in the
wash bowl.
Use another program as below,
which has been designed to
minimise residual particles (they
are in order of increasing benefit
and will help you choose the best
program for your wash load.)

STAINED CLOTHES - HINTS
FOR REMOVING STAINS
The guide to stain removal on page
24 may assist you in stain removal.
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.
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 fabric on an inside
seam before using any chemicals
or bleaches.
NOTE:
Chemicals referred to for stain
removal are available from your
local supermarket, hardware
store or the chemist.
Page 23
23
WARNING!
Pre-treatment sprays and stain
removers can damage plastic
components on your washing
machine.
7.3
YELLOWING OR GREYING CLOTHES
Problem Possible causes What to do
Incorrect wash times and
using insufficient detergent
which can cause redepositing of detergent on clothes.
Using incorrect type or too
much detergent can cause
Greyness
poor rinsing and poor spin
performance.
Mixing whites with very dirty
clothes, eg work clothes.
Using soap flakes instead
of laundry detergent.
Do no use dry cleaning fluids or
solvents near your washing
machine. These fluids will damage
your washing machine and may
cause an explosion.
CAUTION!
ONLY use low sudsing,
1.
front load washer detergent
in this machine, such as
Cold Power for Front
Loaders and High Efficiency
Top Loaders or detergent
labelled “Matic”.
2.
Re-sort load, then re-wash
using program selections
suitable for the fabric using
hot or warm water.
3.
If the water is very dirty or
very sudsy, repeat 2 above
reducing the amount of
detergent you use.
Yellowing
A build-up of oils in clothes
that come into close
contact with the skin, eg
underwear, T-shirts.
Ageing of clothes. Iron
deposits in the wash water.
Use of chlorine bleaches on
fabrics with resin finishes.
Incorrect drying.
Incorrect water temperatures ie. too hot or too cold.
Re-sort load, then re-wash
1.
using wash program
selections suitable for the
fabric using hot or warm
water.
2.
If the water is very dirty or
very sudsy, repeat 1 above
reducing the amount of
detergent you use.
NOTE: Synthetics which
have been washed in very
hot water will not respond
to any treatment.

Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help
protect the environment, we
recommend that you follow these tips:
Normally soiled laundry may be
washed without prewashing in order
to save detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).
The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
With adequate pre-treatment, stains
and limited soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.
Measure out detergent according to
the water hardness, the degree of
soiling and the quantity of laundry
being washed.
