The temperature option selects the temperature of the detergent activating wash (the first
phase of an
Eco
Active™
wash), or the agitation wash of a traditional wash. Please refer to
page 22 for more detail.
Note: you can also access this option from the wash options screen (touch the button).
Water Level
Your
FabricSmart™
washer can automatically select the right water level for the load. As your
machine fills it will pause occasionally to sense the water level. The machine will check if the
water level is correct by using a series of two different agitate strokes: a slow stroke to sense the
load, and an agitate stroke to mix the load (this may take over a minute). If it detects that the
water level is not high enough it will fill with more water and recheck the level. Your washer may
occasionally add water during agitation. This is to maintain the water level due to the release of air
trapped in the garments.
For some loads you may want to manually select the water level. When washing an unusual load,
such as large bulky garments or pillows, we recommend you manually set the water level, or use the
specially designed DUVET/DOONA cycle (refer to page 20).
If you wish to choose the water level yourself, use the marks on the agitator to guide you. The
mark nearest to the top of the clothes indicates the water level you should select. The levels
marked on the agitator are a guide for the dry clothes
and do not correspond exactly to the water level.
Selecting a water level that is too high can cause out of
balance loads, tangling or splash-over.
If there is already water in your
FabricSmart™
before you
start your wash there may be a short pause before it
starts washing. Depending on the amount of water in the
bowl it may automatically start the detergent activating
wash (without adding any more water) or move straight
to the agitation wash if there is a lot of water in the bowl.
