Water Levels
Manual Water Level Selection
The agitator has 5 levels marked on its stem that can be
used to help you select the correct water level. Select
the correct water level by using the mark nearest to the
top of the load.
The levels marked on the agitator do not correspond
exactly to the level of the water. They indicate the
level of dry clothes suitable for the water level.
Your Smart Drive® may occasionally add water during
agitation. This is to maintain the water level due to the
release of air trapped in the garments.
The medium/high and medium/low settings are
available on the Excellence models only.
Out of balance loads, tangling or splash-over can be
caused by selecting a water level that is too high.
Auto Water Level
Model Only
Your Smart Drive® can automatically select the
appropriate water level for the load.
1
Place your clothes in the machine.
2
Select the 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 2 different agitate
strokes. A slow stroke to sense the load and an agitate
stroke to mix the load. (This may take over a minute.) If
it detects that the water level is not high enough, it will
fill with more water and check the level.
When washing an unusual load, eg large bulky
garments or 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 bowl.
Note:
If you feel the Auto Water Level does not fill to the correct level, you can adjust the level the
machine selects. (Refer to Changing Pre-set Options, pages 24 and 27).
