WASH OPTIONS
Washing bulky items
Forcing large items into the washer may result in them being damaged during washing.
Make sure there is enough room in the washer for items to move when being washed.
z
Use the specially designed BULKY cycle.
Some items float up during the wash (egduvets/
doonas, water-proof and water-resistant items
and pillows). If they sit too high they may touch
stationary parts of the washer during agitate or
spin. To minimise the chance of this happening,
ensure bulky items are pushed back down into the
water after fill, and pushed down again to sit below
the medium high water level mark on the agitator
before ‘Spin’. Select
SPIN SPEED 300.
To prevent an out of balance load or splash-over we recommend washing all bulky items,
including water-proof and water-resistant items, on the ‘Bulky’ cycle.
If you wish to re-spin the load at a faster speed make sure the load is sitting below the
medium-high mark before spinning.
Washing woollens
Many woollen items carry a ‘Machine Washable’ care claim. The fibres of these woollens
have been treated to prevent felting when they are machine washed.
z
Check the care label.
z
Use a wool detergent.
z
Use the specially designed WOOL cycle.
z
To dry woollens lie them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry out of direct sunlight.
Most handcrafted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend
that you wash them by hand only. Hand washed woollens may be spun in your washer
(select
SPIN SPEED 700).
Note: Some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing machine
but could produce excessive amounts of lint that may cause pump blockages.
