WASH CYCLES AND OPTIONS
AUTO WATER LEVEL
Your ecosmart can automatically select the
appropriate water level for the load.
1.
Place your clothes in the machine, and press Power.
2. Select wash cycle (select Auto if not automatically
selected)
3. Press START/PAUSE
During fill the machine will pause occasionally to
sense the water level. The machine will check if
the water level is correct by using a series of two
different agitate strokes. (This may take over a minute).
If it detects that the water level is not enough, it
will fill with more water and re-check the level.
If you open the lid during this time your ecosmart
will assume you are adding more clothes and will
re-sense, extending the cycle time.
When washing an unusual load eg. large
bulky garments, pillows, we recommend you
manually select the water level and select
the Delicate cycle.
Manually select the water level if there is already
water in the machine.
Note: If you feel the machine does not fill to the
correct level, you can adjust the level the machine
selects. (Refer to the Option Adjustment instructions
on pages 14 to 17.)
MANUAL WATER LEVEL SELECTION
The agitator has five levels marked on its stem that
can be used to help you select the correct water
levels. Select the correct water level by using the
mark nearest to the top of the clothes.
The levels marked on the agitator do not correspond
exactly to the level of water. They indicate the
level of dry clothes suitable for the water level.
Your ecosmart may occasionally add water during
agitation.This is to maintain the water level due to
the release of air trapped in the garments.
Out of balance loads, tangling or splashover can be
caused by selecting a water level that is too high.
