Lid lock feature
Lid lock is a safety feature in your washing machine to
ensure the lid is not opened during a stage in the wash
program when it would be hazardous for you to do so.
The lid will lock in the closed position when the machine is
spinning. The “Lid Locked” indicator light will be on.
caution
Do not try to force open the lid when it is locked.
At all other times, you will be able to easily open the lid
when it is unlocked and the indicator light is off. This gives
you the exibility of a traditional top load washing machine.
(See Lid Locked on page 19 for more information).
Auto sensing water level feature
Auto sensing is a feature where the washer fills automatically
with water to just the right level for your clothes load. You do
have the option to manually set the water level if you wish.
When you turn on your machine, and after a wash has
finished in preparation for the next wash, the water level
defaults to auto.
We recommend you use the auto sensing water level option
to ensure there is just the right amount of water for the
wash load in the machine. In other words, it will usually give
you the best wash while also being the most efficient in
terms of water usage.
At times during a wash it may appear your machine is either
doing nothing or intermittently it is only gently vibrating/
jiggling/agitating.
This is because your machine could be:
• In auto sensing test mode and the machine is
determining the correct amount of water for your wash.
(See page 18).
• At a drain stage of the wash program and the machine
is allowing time for water to flow from the washbowl to
the outer bowl.
• Engaging or disengaging the drive clutch mechanism.
Wait a short time, your washing machine will complete the
above tasks and continue with the wash.
The amount of water for auto is factory set at an optimised
level. You can adjust the Auto level up or down by a small
amount. For more information see ‘Customising the auto
sensing water level’ page 21.
Button response and digital display
tips and information
Always press the buttons gently.
• Watch the indicator lights on the control panel to see
what effect pressing a button has and listen for the
‘beeps’.
• When you press a button you will get a short ‘beep’ to
acknowledge the entry. If you press a button and the
option is not available at the time, a long ‘error beep’
will be heard.
Out of balance interruption
The washing machine can stop during rinse and spin stages
of a wash program because of an out of balance condition.
You will know this has happened because the machine will
show
in the digital display.
Out of balance is caused by uneven distribution of clothes
in the washbowl.
To correct the out of balance condition, open the lid and
redistribute the clothes evenly in the space between the
agitator and the wall of the washbowl. You may have to wait
a moment for the lid to unlock before opening the lid.
Closing the lid will start the machine and resume the wash
program.
If you have frequent out of balance interruptions, it may be
due to your washing machine not standing firm and level on
the floor. This can be corrected by adjusting the machine
legs as described in the Installation instructions supplied
with your machine.
Using too high a water level for small loads can also cause
out of balance interruption. Select auto sensing or lower
water levels when washing small loads.
Washing instructions
The washing instructions beginning on the next page are of
a general nature and you should get good wash results by
following them.
However, due to the variables of fabric types, soil level,
detergent types and avaiable program settings you may
find some combinations of these which do not always result
in the perfect wash.
If for example you see residuals of detergent of soil on some
items, please read the section Residues on washed items
on page 25.
Over time you will learn what is the best set-up of programs,
detergent and load sorting for different load types ans soils.
