Water Saving Technology / Knowing Your Washing Machine3
You must use a low sudsing detergent in this
new technology washer - for example, Cold
Power for Front Loaders and High Efficiency
Top Loaders or detergents labelled “Matic”.
Eco Rinsing
Eco rinse is the preferred rinsing option. It is done
by spraying water on the clothes, spinning the water
out and repeating this sequence six more times.
Deep rinse is available but the clothes are fully
submerged in rinse water before draining and final
spin. Eco and deep are both effective at removing
detergent. In this washer Eco rinse saves 60% of the
deep rinse water used in a traditional top load
agitator machine.
Caution
How Does Eco Rinse Work ?
We recommend to use Eco rinse to maximise
water savings. Deep rinse is available for the times it
is needed, but deep rinse uses much more water
than Eco rinse.
When Eco rinse is used, rinse water is sprayed into
the washbowl in pulses. After each pulse the
washbowl will spin to remove detergent laden
water from the clothes.
The machine will go through a series of maximum
six pulse spray and short spin cycles in this manner,
depending on program selection, followed by a
final long spin that removes the water from the
clothes to complete the full wash program.
For deep rinse, water enter the machine to fill up to
the working level for the wash water level you can
not select. The washer agitates and finally empties
the rinse water through the drain hose.

Lid lock is a safety feature in your washing machine
to ensure the lid is not opened during a stage in the
wash program when it would be hazardous for you
to do so. The lid will be locked when your washing
machine is spinning, shown by the padlock symbol
displayed on the screen. Do not try to force
open the lid when it is locked.
You will be able to open the lid easily when the
padlock symbol on the screen disappears.
The washing machine can stop during rinse and spin
stages of a wash because of an out of balance
condition.
To let you know an out of balance interruption has
happened, the display will show ‘ ’ in the digital
display.

BEFORE you do your first wash, we suggest

The type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling
and hardness of the water used.
Information on hardness of the water in your
area can be obtained from the relevant water
supply company, or from your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions
on quantities to use.
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees”
of hardness.
Use less detergent if:
you are washing a small load,
the laundry is lightly soiled,
large amounts of foam form during washing
