Water Levels - Fisher & Paykel Smart Drive GWL08 Use & Care Manual

WATER LEVELS
AUTO WATER LEVEL
Your Smart Drive can automatically select the
appropriate water level for the load.
1. Place your clothes in the machine.
2. Select wash cycle (select AUTO if not automatically
selected).
3. Press START / PAUSE.
During fill the machine will pause occasionally
to sense the water level. The machine will check if
the water level is correct by using a series of two
different agitate strokes. A slow stroke to sense the
load and an agitate stroke to mix the load. (This
may take over a minute). If it detects that the water
level is not enough it will fill with more water and
re-check the level.
When washing an unusual load eg large bulky
garments, pillows, we recommend you manually
select the water level.
Manually select the water level if there is already
water in the machine.
Note: If you feel the machine does not fill to the
correct level, you can adjust the level the machine
selects. Refer to the Option Adjustment instructions
on pages 23 and 27.

MANUAL WATER LEVEL SELECTION
The agitator has five levels marked on its stem that can
be used to help you select the correct water level.
Select the correct water level by using the mark
nearest to the top of the clothes.
• The levels marked on the agitator do not
correspond exactly to the level of water. They
indicate the level of dry clothes suitable for the
water level.
• Your Smart Drive may occasionally add water
during agitation. This is to maintain the water
level due to the release of air trapped in the
garments.
