Washing bulky items
Forcing large items into the washer may result in
them being damaged during washing. Make sure
there is enough room in the washer for items to
move when being washed.
Some items float up during the wash (eg duvets/
doonas, waterproof and water-resistant items
and pillows). If they sit too high they may touch
stationary parts of the washer during agitate or
spin. To minimise the chance of this happening,
ensure bulky items are pushed back down again
into the water level after fill and pushed down
again to sit below the medium high water level
mark on the agitator before spinning. Select a
'Slow' spin.
IMPORTANT!
To prevent an out of balance load or splash-over we recommend washing bulky
items on the 'Hand Wash' cycle (WashSmart™ model) or the 'Delicate' cycle
(QuickSmart™ model).
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.
Washing woollens
Many woollen items carry a 'Machine Washable' care claim. The fibres of these
woollens have been treated to prevent felting when they are machine washed.
Check the care label.

●
Use a wool detergent.
●
●
Use the specially designed 'Hand Wash' cycle (WashSmart™ model) or 'Wool' cycle
●
●
(QuickSmart™ model). For your more durable woollens you may want to use the 'Easy
Iron' cycle (WashSmart™ model only).
To dry woollens lie them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry out of direct sunlight.
●
●
Most handcrafted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we
recommend that you wash them by hand only. Hand washed woollens may be spun in
your washer (select 'Slow' spin speed).
Note: some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing
machine but could produce excessive amounts of lint that may cause pump blockages.
WASH OPTIONS
Bulky items should sit below the medium
high water level mark.
