Is the cold hose connected to the cold valve (colour-coded white)? Have the taps been turned on?

  • Page 23: Detergent And Fabric Softener

    DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER Detergent type Your washer requires low sudsing detergent to prevent oversudsing problems. Low sudsing detergent comes in powder, liquid or pod form and is labelled ‘Front Loading’, ‘Low Suds’, ‘High Efficiency’ or ‘HE’. Using top loading detergent in your front loader washer may lead to excessive suds formation, which will lengthen the cycle time as the machine waits for the suds to dissolve.
  • Page 24 For more information refer to ‘Wash cycle options’. ‘Pre Wash’ option Detergent in the pre wash compartment marked WH9060J, WH8560J, WH8060J and WH7560J models: If using ‘Delay Start’ we recommend you use powdered detergent for the main wash.
  • Page 25 DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER How much detergent? The correct detergent dosage varies depending on the amount of soil in your load, the size of the load and the water quality, so getting the correct dose takes some trial and error. Use the instructions stated on the detergent package as a guide, then alter the dosage according to the results.

  • Page 26: Wash Preparation

    WASH PREPARATION Sorting Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites, especially when they are new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at higher temperatures. Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water.

  • Page 27: Getting Started Quickly

    GETTING STARTED QUICKLY WH8560F/P, WH8060F/P and WH7560P models Sort your washing carefully. Separate white/light colours from dark colours. Wash new, highly coloured and dark coloured items separately to prevent dye transfer. Refer to ‘Wash preparation’. Load your clothes individually into the wash drum. Close the door.

  • Page 29: Wash Cycle Options

    WASH CYCLE OPTIONS Wash cycle options All wash cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on the average expected load to be washed. You can vary the options (eg ‘Wash Temp’, ‘Spin Speed’) to create your desired cycle. Some options are not available on some cycles, for clothes care reasons, or because the option is not appropriate for the cycle.
  • Page 30 500 rpm, 800 rpm, 1100 rpm and 1400 rpm, plus an additional ‘No Spin’ option.

  • Page 32 Avoid using ‘Delay Start’ for damp, non-colourfast items as this may cause dye run to occur. We also recommend you use powder detergent when you use the ‘Delay Start’ function (WH9060J, WH8560J, WH8060J and WH7560J models only).
