Saving water
Manual suds save with syphon back
If you have a large tub near your washing machine and a separate drain outlet, you can set up
another method of reusing the water.
The tub should hold a minimum of 100 litres or have an overflow.
1
Select SOAK on the first wash cycle.
2
At the end of the wash phase place the drain hose in
the tub.
3
Cancel SOAK (press ADVANCE button). The suds water
will be pumped into the tub. Do not leave your machine
until pump out is completed.
4
Once your tub is filled return the drain hose to the drain.
This must be done before the machine starts spinning.
5
Allow the machine to complete the rest of the cycle.
Remove the first wash load and place the second load
in the machine.
6
To syphon back the suds place the end of the drain hose
in the tub, ensure that the end is near the bottom of
the tub.
7
Advance to SPIN and allow the machine to pump for a
few seconds to clear air from the drain hose, then press
POWER to turn the machine off.
8
The suds water will syphon back into the machine. It will
take several minutes to syphon back the water.
9
RETURN HOSE TO DRAIN.
10
Select second wash cycle.
The above method can also be used to recycle the water from a deep rinse. Select SPIN HOLD in
place of SOAK.
Note: for any of the above methods, manually select the water level for the second wash load.
AUTO water level may fill to a level too high for the clothes load if there is already water in the
wash bowl.
Note: you will only be able to syphon
back into the machine until the water
level is equal to that in the tub.
