How Dirty?
Your Intuitive washer will automatically select a medium
soil level (three HOW DIRTY lights). This setting is fine for
your average load, but some loads may need more or less
washing depending on the amount of soil on the clothes.
For example, a load of dirty jeans will need the soil level
increased while a bath towel used only once, probably only
needs the lowest soil level.
STAINED
This is a special wash action that alternates washing with four short soaks to help remove stains
from your garments, (e.g. three minutes agitation, four minutes soak, three minutes agitation
etc). Stained will use a medium soil level agitation. This cycle is for “general” stains, if you have a
specific stain (i.e., blood, grass, fruit, wine, chocolate or tomato) use the STAINS Lifecycles. (Refer
to Lifecycles page 28).
Fabric Care
AUTO SENSING
Put your clothes into your Intuitive washer and push START/PAUSE. Auto sensing will sense the
average fabric mix of your load and select the right wash action to get the best wash results. For
a normal wash load we suggest the medium soil level.
CREASABLES
Delicate garments often wrinkle easily, so they need a minimum amount of spinning at a very
slow spin speed. The Creasables option will automatically change the rinse to a double deep
rinse and select a short slow spin (300rpm) to minimise wrinkling. Selecting the Creasables
option is not only for delicate clothes, it is also for minimising wrinkles in any garment.
WOOL
Some fabrics require special care, such as machine washable
woollens. These woollens have been specially treated so they can
be washed in a washing machine. (Refer to Woollens page 31).
The wool cycle has been designed with a gentle wash, a spray
and deep rinse and moderate spin (670 rpm) to care for machine
washable woollens.
HANDWASH
Handwash is an extra gentle wash for very delicate fabrics. This cycle has been designed for
garments that you previously might have been reluctant to put into a washing machine.
Handwash has a very gentle wash action; a double deep rinse and a very short slow spin
(300 rpm). If you do not want to spin the clothes remember to select Drip Dry (refer to pages
19 and 21).
