Wash Options
Washing Bulky Items
Forcing large items into the machine may result in
them being damaged during washing. Make sure there
is enough room in the machine for items to move
when being washed.
Some items float up during the wash, (eg duvets/
doonas and pillows). If they sit too high they may touch
stationary parts of the machine during agitate or spin.
To minimize the chance of this happening,
bulky items
should be pushed down below the water level after
fill and pushed to sit below the medium high water
level mark on the agitator before spinning. Select a
slow spin.
To prevent an out of balance load or splashover we
recommend washing these items on the Delicate
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
The Wool Cycle has been approved by the New Zealand
Wool Board and the Australian Wool Corporation for
Woolmark products carrying a MACHINE WASHABLE
care claim. The fibres of these woollens have been
treated to prevent felting when they are machine
washed. Most handknitted garments are not made of
machine washable wool and we recommend that you
wash them by hand.
■
Check the care label.
■
Use a wool detergent.
■
Use the Wool cycle.
■
Hand washed woollens may be spun in your Smart Drive ™.
■
To dry woollens lie them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry out of direct sunlight.
■
Some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing machine but may
produce excessive amounts of lint that may cause pump blockages.
Bulky items should sit below the
medium high water level mark.
