There are five main rinses that have been developed for the AquaSmart™ washer.

The default rinse varies for each cycle, and the rinse may vary if the user selects certain options.
All High Efficiency cycles default to an Aqua Rinse, while if Conventional is selected, a Spray and
Deep Rinse is used. Bulky cycles use a Double Deep type rinse, as does Handwash. The
majority of Lifestyle cycles use either a Spray and Deep or Double Deep rinse.

AquaRinse

The Aqua Rinse is a spray rinse consisting of 6 sprays of 1 gallon (4L), 6 gallons (24L) in total.
Despite the low volume of water used it is a good rinse, which removes most detergent and
insoluble particles. Recirculation is utilised as part of the lint removal system.
1. The wash ends and the machine begins to drain. The basket begins to spin up and continues
draining. At a slow spin speed (90rpm) basket balance and lid-lock are checked. Before the
first intermediate spin commences, a pre-spin at 45rpm is completed, which measures the
out-of-balance and decides whether the machine can spin.
2. The load is then gradually spun up to 330rpm, for 30secs. The basket is then slowed to
23rpm (stir speed).
3. Four litres of cold water is added (with a spray time of 22 seconds). This water is re-
circulated for at least 1 revolution of the basket to remove lint from the outside of the
basket. The water is then drained and the basket spun up to 330rpm for 30 seconds.
4. This repeated for four sprays.
5. The basket is slowed to 23rpm (stir speed). 1 gallon (4L) of cold water is added (with a
spray time of 22 seconds). The water is then drained and the basket spun up to 670rpm for
1 minute.
6. Step 5 is repeated twice (a total of 6 sprays so far).
