WASH OPTIONS

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.
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.
•

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.
