Clean Up

We are unsure how frequently it will be necessary to do this bit of maintenance but after 100
cycles the user will be reminded to do one. It is annoying but we are convinced we are not
over-reacting to the problems we have seen in the Maytag Neptune and other High
Efficiency machines. IEC have committed to having a test method to measure the amount of
residue left to grow in machines. The term they have given to this is "Biofilm". Fisher &
Paykel have decided to be proactive here and prevent build-ups. This is us leading, others
will follow.
This cycle uses a hot wash to clean the basket and fabric softener dispenser, followed by a
2-hour soak, double deep rinse and quick spin.
The user will be reminded to complete a Clean Me cycle every 100 cycles

Customizing Options

Nearly all of the AquaSmart™ wash options can be customized to the preferred settings of
the user (except for the Lifestyle cycles, which are pre-programmed to provide the best
performance for specific washing situations). For example, if the user wants to program the
machine to always select Cold wash temperature or select a Fast spin speed, they can
program this permanently (i.e. can change the default). To do this, select the appropriate
wash option and change it to your preference. The machine will then prompt you "save for
future washes? Select YES. Repeat for any other wash options. Your customised cycle will
then be saved.

Intelligent Options Restrictions

The software prevents the user from setting an option that is potentially damaging to the
intended fabric type.
choose a hot water temperature or a fast spin, as these options may damage delicate
clothes.

Temperature Options

AquaSmart™ has six temperature options. The temperatures may vary slightly depending on
water pressure and extreme incoming temperature situations

All "High Efficiency" machines have much less water flushing through
them so it's important to regularly clean the machines to ensure no
unhygienic build-ups occur.
We have equipt the Aquasmart with a "Clean-up" cycle that can be
accessed through the Lifestyles –Sports-Clean up. It ensures the inner
and outer baskets are kept clean and should be used without clothes
and with detergent.
