Fully automatic water level
You may notice that your AquaSmart™ clothes washer behaves differently from your previous
washer.
Your AquaSmart, like all High Efficiency washers, has a fully automatic water level. This means
that, like Front Loaders, the selection of the water level is left entirely up to the washer. This
ensures optimum wash performance and water savings.
Should you wish to use more water, simply select a Conventional cycle (refer to Conventional
mode page 8).
Sorting and loading
It is important to sort your wash load to ensure optimum wash performance.
For more information on washing tricky items washing please refer to page 27.
Sorting and loading
SHEETS – Separate out sheets and duvet/doona covers and use the SHEETS cycle
which has been especially designed for these items. Ensure that duvet/doona covers
are buttoned or zipped up. To get the best possible wash for sheets, load these items
around the edge of the bowl rather than directly across the low profile agitator.
COLOURED ITEMS – Dye or colour run can be a problem with High Efficiency washers,
so separate highly coloured garments (especially when they are new) and choose the
COLOURS cycle. Most dye transfer occurs when clothes are left too long in the machine
at the completion of the cycle so try not to leave your coloured clothes lingering in the
machine.
BULKY ITEMS – Duvet/doona inners, sleeping bags, ski jackets , blankets and throws
are all items which tend to behave unusually in a clothes washer. The lighter ones tend
to float, while a large blanket can get very heavy and make spinning difficult. Your
AquaSmart™ offers a BULKY cycle designed to take care of these washing challenges.
CREASABLES – When you are concerned about creasing or wrinkling we recommend
you use the EASY IRON cycle. Alternatively, select one of the Conventional cycles. The
extra water used by these cycles will help to reduce creasing. Reducing the spin speed
of the wash may also help (refer to page 16).
JEANS – These items can quickly lose their colour. For best results we recommend that
you wash jeans using the COLOURS cycle to minimise any potential colour loss.
SOIL – Very dirty, sandy, or linty loads are best washed separately to prevent transfer
onto other garments. It may be that you have new towels that create lots of lint or very
sandy beach gear. We suggest using a Conventional cycle in this circumstance.
DELICATES – To take extra special care of delicate items, we suggest using the DELICATE
cycle.
