Wash cycle options explained
Once you have selected your wash cycle you may wish to change the default wash options.
High Efficiency
This option lets you choose between a High Efficiency (ie High Efficiency On) and Conventional
(ie High Efficiency Off ) mode of washing.
Some cycles can be used in either of the modes or only one, depending on what is best for
your clothes (refer to page 22).
Wash Temp
AquaSmart™ offers five wash temperatures and an additional setting, CONTROLLED COLD.
The water temperature is monitored by a sensor which controls hot and cold water inputs to
deliver uniform wash temperatures.
Simply touch the WASH TEMP button to increase or decrease the wash temperature.
We recommend selecting the most suitable wash temperature for the fabric and the type of
soil to be removed. Always refer to the item's care label for the manufacturer's recommended
washing instructions.
Note:
The temperature option selected determines the temperature of the first phase of the two-part
■ ■
wash system, known as the Detergent Activating Wash (with the exception of the ALLERGY cycle
where both parts of the wash are at the user selected temperature).
Some temperatures are not available on some cycles as a safeguard for your clothes (eg HOT and
■ ■
WARM / HOT on the DELICATE cycle).
Hint: if a hot wash is required, where both phases of the wash system are hot, you must select
the ALLERGY cycle or the SHEETS cycle and HOT temperature.
Controlled Cold
The temperature of cold faucet water varies widely, depending on your location and the season.
The lower the cold water temperature, the less effective the cold wash becomes. To help with
this issue we have developed CONTROLLED COLD which adds a small amount of warm water,
when necessary, to raise your cold water wash to approximately 68°F (20°C). This will ensure that
you receive a more effective wash in cold water. Cold Tap ("tAP") is the default COLD setting on
your washer. If you wish to use the CONTROLLED COLD setting as the default COLD setting, refer
to page 40 to learn how to change the default setting.
Soil Level (selected models only)
Your clothes and other washable items sometimes need more or less cleaning than others. The
SOIL LEVEL option lets you adjust the wash to suit the amount of soil in your load. For example,
for dirty clothes, select HEAVY and for items that are only lightly soiled, select LIGHT. This adjusts
the wash time accordingly to give the load the right amount of agitation to remove the soil.
