GETTING STARTED QUICKLY — WASHSMART™ ECO WASHER

Fabric softener

If you wish to use fabric softener, place it in the fabric 
softener dispenser cup on the top of the agitator (refer 
to the ‘Fabric Softener’ section).

IMPORTANT!

Fabric softener must not be used if you have selected 

the ‘Quick’ cycle or the ‘Eco Rinse’ option (refer to the 

‘Fabric softener’ section).

Before you start

It is important to sort your clothes, particularly separating white/light colours from 
dark colours, as well as separating out sheets and towels. Refer to the ‘Sorting’ and 
‘Loading’ sections.

Wash new, highly coloured and dark coloured items separately to prevent dye transfer 
onto other items.

Sort lint givers and lint collectors (refer to the ‘Sorting’ section).

Close bra clasps, do up zippers and check pockets.

Place your clothes directly into the wash bowl. 

Place the load evenly around the agitator (refer to ‘Sorting’ and ‘Loading’ sections).

Remove fabric softener dispenser cup. 

Detergent

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on 
the detergent package.

Use the size of the load as a guide to the 
amount of detergent to use (refer to the 
‘Detergent’ section).

Pour the detergent down the centre of the 
agitator stem.

Replace the fabric softener dispenser cup 
(this stops small articles falling down the 
centre of the agitator).
