Page 10: How Dirty
Fabric Care AUTO SENSING Put your clothes into your Intuitive™ washer and push START/PAUSE. Auto sensing will sense the average fabric mix of your load and select the correct wash action to ensure the best wash results. For a normal wash load we suggest the medium soil level and the ECO (SAVE WATER++) rinse option (See Save Water page 16). -
Page 11: Eco Active™ Wash
(Top Loader Type Wash) After recirculating the sudsy water through the clothes for 2 – 5 minutes, your Intuitive Eco™ washer will fill with just enough cool water to suspend the clothes in solution. Your washer will then sense the average fabric type of the load and begin the agitation wash. -
Page 12: Lidlock
Lidlock Your Intuitive™ has a lidlock, which locks when your machine is spinning. This ensures the lid cannot be opened during hazardous parts of the cycle, providing added safety for you and your family. A Lidlock symbol (padlock) appears in the corner of the screen when locked (it disappears when unlocked), letting you know at a glance if you can open the lid or not. -

Page 28: Detergent
Detergent Choosing the Right Detergent We recommend the use of domestic detergents (powder, liquid or tablets). Soap flakes, e.g. Lux Soap Flakes, or granulated soap powders should not be used. Detergents that contain built-in fabric softeners may not be suitable for your Intuitive™ as they can leave a deposit on the agitator and bowl. - Page 29 How Much to Use?

Page 30: Fabric Softener
■ Scrud Scrud is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when the fabric softener comes into contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the machine. If scrud is allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains on your clothes or an unpleasant smell in your washer. -

The agitator must be fully pushed onto the shaft when refitting. Tighten the plastic nut firmly by hand. Ensure the agitator is not loose.

WASH WATER Temperature is not warm. The Intuitive Eco™ washer fills in two stages. The first phase of the wash fills with water at the temperature you have selected. The second phase of the wash uses cool water to finish the fill, so the final wash water temperature will be much cooler than the temperature you selected. -

Try pre-dissolving the detergent. DYE TRANSFER. Wash and dry non-colourfast clothes separately. Non colourfast clothes left sitting in a washer or laundry basket can transfer dye to other clothes. TANGLING. Washing with too much water (i.e. under-loading) can cause the clothes to tangle. -
