Use the Soak option to soak clothes at the end of the
wash phase or when you wish to re-use the wash
water.
When you select Soak your Smart Drive will soak for a
period of 2 hours before completing rinse and spin.
During soak your Smart Drive will agitate for a few
seconds every minute.
Nappy sanitisers and bleach are very corrosive to
metal surfaces. DO NOT use your Smart Drive to
soak items in bleach or sanitiser, or tip the
contents of the nappy bucket into your machine.
Rinse and wring items out thoroughly before placing
them in your machine.
Use the Water Saver option when you want to
minimise the amount of water used during a Regular
or Heavy Duty wash cycle.
When you have selected Water Saver, your Smart Drive
will alter the rinse phase to give a shower rinse. A
shower rinse alternately showers the clothes with
water and spins them to remove the sudsy water.
• The Water Saver option is not designed to be
used with fabric softener. The shower rinse does
not use a deep rinse so it cannot dispense fabric
softener correctly.
• There are some wash loads that may not suit being
washed using the Water Saver option. For
instance loads that have a lot of sand or sawdust
etc in them, or garments where the colour still
runs from them.
Note: Water Saver is only available on the Regular
and Heavy Duty cycles. If you try to select Water
Saver on the Wool, Delicate or Permanent Press cycle
your Smart Drive will skip over the option.
Water Saver will take slightly longer than a normal
spray and deep rinse.
