Sorting And Loading - Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart 2 Installation Instructions And User Manual

When sorting your wash load and loading your AquaSmart 2™ there are some important things
to consider:
Sorting
Care labels provide valuable information about the fabric type and how the garment should
be washed.
Sort items according to what they are soiled with – some soils, like mud and blood are best
washed in cold water. Oily soils (eg some foods and marks on shirt collars) are best washed in
warm water.
Always separate coloured items from whites, especially when they are new.
Some items are lint givers (eg towels, nappies), while others are lint collectors (eg black trousers,
synthetic socks). Always wash lint givers and collectors separately.

Towels
Chenille
Nappies
Before you load
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings, and remove loose bra wires. All these can
damage both your AquaSmart 2™ and your clothes.
Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag.
Pre-treat any stains taking care not to spray or wipe pre-treaters around and directly on your
washer. These can damage the plastic surfaces.
Loading
AquaSmart 2™ is more efficient when washing larger loads. So try to wash larger loads –
without packing clothes too tightly into the wash bowl. Wait till you have at least 4 or 5 items
before you do a wash.
Always separate out your sheets and wash them on their own using the specifically designed
SHEETS cycle. Your sheets will wash better and last longer this way.
Never wrap items around the low-profile agitator like a snake. Instead, place them in as loose
parcels, ie try not to arrange items around the wash bowl, just drop them straight in. This will
help prevent tangling and out of balance issues.
Important!
Please do not under any circumstances wash an electric blanket in your AquaSmart 2™ washer.
It is not recommended that you wash curtains in your AquaSmart 2™. Sunlight makes them
brittle and they may disintegrate during washing.
