Selecting the most appropriate cycle for each particular wash load will help ensure you get the best wash result. WASH TEMP RINSE SEQUENCE SPIN SPEED (RPM) 9 – 13 Warm/ Cold Spray/HE Deep Fast (1100) Everyday loads where extra water is an advantage eg linty, sandy or dye run is possible 9 – 13 Warm/ Cold Spray/ Deep Fast (1100) HE On Heavily soiled durable garments eg tea towels, rugby shorts.
WASH CYCLES WASH TEMP RINSE SEQUENCE SPIN SPEED (RPM) 9 – 13 Warm / Cold Spray / HE Deep Fast (1100) Everyday washing of towels, new towels that may release dye during the wash, and after a day at the beach. 9 – 13 Warm / Cold Spray / Deep Fast (1100) HE On Water efficient Rinse and Spin only.

THE UNIQUE CLEANSMART™ WASH The CleanSmart™ washer has two modes of washing, HE ON (HIGH EFFICIENCY) and HE OFF (CONVENTIONAL). Both modes start the same way, with a Detergent Activating wash. Detergent Activating wash CleanSmart™ fills the bowl at the selected water temperature, with just enough water so the clothes are saturated. This small amount of sudsy water flows through the clothes, up a specially designed portal and back onto the clothes in a waterfall effect.
WASH PREPARATION Sorting Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites, especially when they are new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at higher temperatures. Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water. Oily soils (eg some foods and marks on shirt collars) are best washed in warm water.
WASH PREPARATION Choosing the right cycle If you wish to use fabric softener you will need to select SOFTENER by touching the OPTIONS button which will give you a deep rinse. If the SOFTENER option is not selected, the fabric softener will not be dispensed correctly. A small volume of water remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is normal. Adding the fabric softener Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on the fabric softener packaging for the correct dosage.
WASH PREPARATION Wash Boost options Your CleanSmart™ washer has an extra dispenser located on the left hand side called the Wash Boost dispenser. You can use this dispenser to boost your wash performance in two ways: Stain Treatment The STAIN TREATMENT option allows you to add a liquid in-wash fabric stain remover to help combat tough stains.

WASH OPTIONS DO NOT use your washer to soak items in bleach or sanitiser and if you’ve soaked items in a bucket, do not tip the contents of the bucket into your washer.

WASH OPTIONS Clothes care safeguards To avoid accidentally damaging your clothes there are a few options that your washer will not allow. For example you cannot select a HOT wash on the DELICATE or EASY IRON cycles. Washing bulky items The BULKY cycle takes special care of bulky items. Bulky garments and bedding wash most effectively when they can move freely. Ensure that there is sufficient room in the bowl for the load to move during the wash.
