Power Outages
In some parts of Australia where power outages are common (e.g. Tariff 33 in Queensland), the WM44 is
designed to retain information if a running cycle is interrupted during any power outage. Once power is
restored, the WM44 will finish off any remaining time left on the cycle to ensure maximum sanitation.
In situations where more than one timer is in use and they subsequently overlap due to the power outage,
the WM44 will take the timer with the longest run time as priority to ensure maximum sanitation.
With any power outage during an active cycle, the WM44 will operate past the original programmed OFF time
to compensate for any time lost during the power outage. To override this at any time, simply press the
POWER button to place the WM44 in standby.
Tariff 33
If located within a Tariff 33 area, it is advised to check with the local electricity provider and ascertain the
times when the power outages are most likely to occur, and where possible, set the WM44 timers around
these power outages. This would ensure maximum and continuous sanitation.
