Dirt Level button

There are 3 dirt levels to choose from:
• Heavy for heavily soiled clothes eg. very dirty
work clothes and overalls
• Medium for everyday soiled items eg family
clothes, sheets etc
• Light for lightly soiled clothes, just to freshen
them up
The Dirt Level lets you have an influence on the wash time
of the selected program.
Press the Dirt Level button if you want to increase or
decrease the wash time.
For the same wash program, Heavy will have a longer wash
time than Medium, and Medium a longer wash time than Light.

Water Level button

Pressing the Water Level button allows you
to choose the water level to be used for your
wash.
You can select:
• auto sensing
or a manual water level
• High
• Medium
• Low
Auto sensing is the default selection for each wash to help
you save water.
tips and information
Do not overfill the washing machine.
When choosing a manual water level, use only the amount
of water you need for the wash load. If you are unsure what
level to choose, select auto sensing and the machine will
automatically fill with water to the correct level for you.

Auto sensing water level

Selecting the auto sensing water level option ensures you
will use just the right amount of water for the wash load.
When you start your wash program, the machine will
conduct a series of water fill and short agitations to
determine the amount of water needed.

will disappear and automatically normal wash agitation
will commence when there is sufficient water in the bowl.
If you add more clothes to the washbowl after an auto
sensing water level wash program has started, the machine
will auto sense the new load and add extra water if needed.
For auto water level, the amount of water the machine
determines for a load is an optimised level. You can adjust
the auto level to be a small amount above or below the
optimised level if you consider the amount of water you
normally get using the auto option is too high or too low. To
do this, see 'Customising the auto sensing water level' on
page 12.

Checking the water level

When the Water Aid recirculation system is active and the
agitation of washing has started, you can open the lid to
check the working water level in the washbowl.
After opening the lid, the Water Aid recirculation pump will
continue to run for 10 seconds. Check the water level being
used for your wash during the time the pump is running.
If you do not close the lid after 10 seconds, the pump will
stop and the water level in the washbowl will begin to drop.
If the lid is left open, the water level can drop a maximum
100mm as water drains from the inner to the outer bowl.
The level of water may then appear too low for your wash
load, but closing the lid will start the recirculation pump and
the water level will return to the working level, ie. rise by a
maximum 100mm.

If you are using program settings where the recirculation
system is not active, the water level will not change when
you open the lid.

Temp. button

Press the Temp. button to set the wash water
temperature.
There are 5 temperatures to choose from:
• Hot
• <--(Temperature between hot and warm)
• Warm
• <--(Temperature between warm and cold)
• Cold
Press the Temp. button repeatedly until the temperature you
want is highlighted with an indicator light.
A sensor in the machine measures incoming water
temperatures and controls the entry of water to achieve the
selected wash temperature. The hot and cold water valves
may open together or independantly.
tips and information
• Y ou may be limited in your wash temperature choice
by the wash program selection made. For example,
you will not be able to select hot water when the wool
program is selected.
• I f you have a cold water connection only and the hot
valve is capped off, you must select cold washes
only, or the machine will sense the unavailability of
hot for washes other than cold and shutdown. (Refer
Installations instructions).
• A ll rinse water temperatures are cold except for the
wool wash program. Wool has a warm wash and a
warm rinse.
• C omponents in the washing machine are designed to
be used with water no hotter than 70°C. You should
have a temperature limiting valve fitted by a qualified
plumber if your water supply is too hot.
