Wash Temp
FabricSmart™ washer offers 5 wash temperatures, and an additional setting, 'Controlled Cold'.
The wash temperature selected is used in the detergent activating wash (except for
the 'Sports' cycle – refer to the 'Eco-Active™ wash' section). If Eco-Active™ is 'On' the
temperature will be colder for the second part of the wash. When Eco-Active™ 'Off' is
selected, the bowl will fill with the wash temperature selected.
Note: the 'Allergy' cycle fills the bowl with water at the temperature selected. There is
no Eco-Active™ phase in the wash cycle.
The temperature of cold tap water varies widely depending on your location and the
season. We have developed 'Controlled Cold', which adds a small amount of warm
water, when necessary, to raise your cold water wash to 20°C for a more effective wash
(refer to the 'Changing pre-set options' section for details on how to set 'Controlled
Cold' as the default temperature for your cold water wash).
Soil Level
Your clothes and other washable items sometimes need more or less cleaning than
others. The 'Soil Level' option lets you adjust the wash to suit the amount of soil in your
load. For example, for dirty clothes, select 'Heavy' and for items that are only lightly
soiled, select 'Light'. This adjusts the wash time accordingly to give the load the right
amount of agitation in order to remove the soil.
Spin Speed
Your washer offers 3 spin speeds: 1100 rpm, 700 rpm and 300 rpm, plus an additional
'No Spin' option. Simply increase or decrease your spin speed by touching the 'Spin
Speed' button.
Note: some spin speeds are not available on some cycles for best clothes care
(eg 'Delicate' cycle).
Use the 'No Spin' option to:
Remove drip dry garments from a mixed load before the wash goes into 'Spin'.
● ●
Minimise the clothes creasing when they are left to sit in the bottom of the bowl at the
● ●
end of the cycle.
When you have selected 'No Spin', the cycle
will end after the rinse allowing you to remove
drip dry items before you spin the remaining
items. Once drip dry items have been removed,
touch 'POWER'
(change the spin speed if necessary, eg select '300'
for delicate or creasable items) and touch
Your washer will optimise the spin speed according
to the level of out of balance in the load.
