works as follows. Excess water in the outer bowl is pumped

Control of the water flow from the inner washbowl to the
outer bowl has been achieved through the redesign of the
washbowl drain holes.

Inner washbowl design
The design of the inner washbowl is the most apparent
change to your washing machine.
Gone are the hundreds of drain holes normally seen in
the washbowl. These have been replaced with a few slot
shaped holes inside teardrop shaped indentations arranged
evenly around the washbowl wall. The number and design
of the drain holes control the flow of water from the
washbowl to the outer bowl.
This washing machine features many wash program options
allowing you to select exactly the right combination for each
wash load to clean and care for your clothes.
Additionally, when you choose to use Eco rinse with the new

machine, considerable water savings can be made.

Deep Rinse for your first wash load if you wish.
If you have previously used a top load agitator type washer,
you need to know that your new washer works differently.
This washer uses much less water per load of washing and
does it through two new technologies.
1. Water Aid Recirculation system – In most wash and
deep rinses the recirculation system is active and a
recirculation pump runs to keep water at a low level in
the outer bowl, and at a correct level in the washbowl.
Water Aid recirculation saves 33% of wash and
deep rinse water.
However, to give better wash results for some types
of loads, soil levels and detergent combinations, some
programs do not have the recirculation system active in
the wash stage, and some programs do not have the
recirculation system active in both the wash and deep
RINSEåSTAGESåSEEå7ATERå!IDåRECIRCULATIONåSYSTEMåACTIVEå
programs on page 7.)
Savings in water usage are realised whatever your load
SIZEå,OADåSENSINGåCOUPLEDåWITHåTHEå7ATERå!IDå3YSTEMå
ensures that only the correct amount of water required
is used. The machine senses the load size and adjusts
the amount of water required while continuing to keep
water at a low level in the outer bowl.
2. Eco rinse is available as the preferred rinsing option.
It is done by spraying water on the clothes, spinning the
water out and repeating this sequence four more times.
Deep rinse is available but the clothes are fully submerged
in rinse water before draining and final spin. Eco and deep
are both effective at removing detergent. In this washer,
Eco rinse saves 75% of the deep rinse water used in
a traditional top load agitator machine and is not designed
for use with fabric conditioner.
