Drip dry

Drip dry clothes, that need to be taken out of the washing
machine dripping wet, do not require a spin cycle after deep
rinse.
To select Drip Dry:
• e nsure the rinse option Deep rinse is selected.
(See "Rinse Option button" below)
• press the Spin button until the Drip Dry light is 'ON'.
At the end of deep rinse in your wash program, the washing
machine will stop and will be shown in the digital
display.
Open the lid and remove the drip dry clothes from the
machine.
To drain the remaining water from the washing machine,
simply close the lid and allow the cycle to complete.
If you have other non drip dry items remaining in the bowl,
de-select drip dry and select a spin speed to spin those
items dry.

Selecting spin only

You may want to only spin clothes eg. clothes you have
washed and rinsed by hand in a wash tub, or for very wet
clothes to remove water.
Press the Advance button until only the 'Spin' progress
indicator light is 'ON' (blinking).
Press the Start/Pause button. The washing machine will
pump any water out first and then start a spin cycle.

Rinse Option button

Pressing the Rinse Option button allows you to change the
rinse type.
For most washes the machine automatically selects Eco
rinse for you, but it will select deep rinse if you have already
selected the wool wash program or drip dry, or your last
wash was a drip dry with deep rinse.

the progress indicator. The washing machine will go through
a series of five pulse spray/spin cycles to remove the
detergent laden water from the clothes.

in the progress indicator. For deep rinse, the washer fills
with water to the level selected for the wash water level.

tips and information
• W e strongly recommend you use Eco rinse for your
washes whenever you can. There is considerable saving
of water when Eco is used instead of Deep to rinse
clothes, as can be seen in the 'Water Consumption
Comparison' table shown on page iii.
• Y ou cannot select Eco rinse with the Wool wash
program or Drip dry spin option. A long 'error beep' will
tell you this if you try to select Eco rinse for them.
• E co rinse is not designed to be used with fabric
softener. Select Deep rinse if you are going to use
fabric softener. Deep rinse ensures the fabric softener is
correctly dispensed and thoroughly removed from your
clothes during rinsing.
• I f your cold water supply pressure is low, Eco rinse
might not be fully effective in rinsing suds from your
clothes. If this is the case then use Deep rinse. Note
that you can save this option under your Favourite
button if you wish. (Refer page 11.)

Start/Pause button

If you press Start/Pause during a spin stage and you want
to open the lid, you must wait until the Lid Locked light is
'OFF'.

Lid Locked

The 'Lid Locked' indicator light will be 'ON' to advise you
when the lid of the washing machine is locked in the closed
position. The lid will be automatically locked when the
washbowl is spinning during a wash program.
To fill and agitate the lid must be closed, but will not be
automatically locked.
If the lid is open and the machine is waiting for it to be
closed for the wash program to continue, you will see
the digital display accompanied by 'beeping'.
Should you need to access the washbowl during spin,
press Start/Pause. You will have to wait a short time for the
bowl to stop spinning before the lid unlocks and the 'Lid
Locked' indicator light turns 'OFF'.
If then you open and close the lid, and the machine is still in
a spin stage of the wash program, the lid will lock and the
machine will continue to complete the spin stage.

top panel of the washing machine.
