About your washing machine
Fabric softener recommendation
If you use fabric softener, you need to select the Deep
rinse option and not use Eco rinse for your wash load. (See
“Rinse Option” page 9)
Fabric softener makes clothes softer and reduces static
so that clothes do not cling to you when worn. However,
you do not have to use softener, your machine will wash
perfectly well without it. (For more information, refer pages
5 and 6)
Lid lock feature
Lid lock is a safety feature in your washing machine to
ensure the lid is not opened during a stage in the wash
program when it would be hazardous for you to do so.
The lid will lock in the closed position when the machine is
spinning. The “Lid Locked” indicator light will be on.
caution
Do not try to force open the lid when it is locked.
At all other times, you will be able to easily open the lid
when it is unlocked and the indicator light is off. This gives
you the flexibility of a traditional top load washing machine.
(See Lid Locked on page 9 for more information).
Auto sensing water level feature
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.

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:

Out of balance interruption
The washing machine can stop during rinse and spin stages
of a wash program because of an out of balance condition.
You will know this has happened because the machine will
show in the digital display.
Out of balance is caused by uneven distribution of clothes
in the washbowl.
To correct the out of balance condition, open the lid and
redistribute the clothes evenly in the space between the
agitator and the wall of the washbowl. You may have to wait
a moment for the lid to unlock before opening the lid.
Closing the lid will start the machine and resume the wash
program.
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 machine
legs as described in the Installation instructions supplied
with your machine.
Using too high a water level for small loads can also cause
out of balance interruption. Select auto sensing or lower
water levels when washing small loads.
Washing instructions
The washing instructions beginning on the next page 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 on page 15.
Over time you will learn what is the best set-up of
programs, detergent and load sorting for different load
types and soils.
