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

lights on the control panel to see the
effect pressing a button or turning a
program selector knob has, and listen

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

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.
