WASH CYCLE OPTIONS
Soil Level (WM1490P and WM1480P models only)
The 'Soil Level' option lets you adjust the wash to suit the amount of soil in your load.
For example, select 'Heavy' for dirty clothes; for items that are only lightly soiled, select
'Light'. This adjusts the wash time accordingly to give the load the right amount of
agitation to remove the soil.
Wash Boost
Pre Wash
For extra dirty loads you can perform a 'Pre Wash'. Your washer will start the wash with
a short wash in cool water to remove excess soil. After this the machine will drain and
then fill at the selected temperature for the main wash.
Simply touch the 'Wash Boost' button and select 'Pre Wash' when choosing your wash
options. Note: 'Pre Wash' cannot be selected after a wash cycle has been started, ie
if you touch and try to select 'Pre Wash' it will be unavailable. 'Pre Wash' must be
selected at the start of the cycle.
If you use the 'Pre Wash' option, liquid or powdered detergent needs to be placed in the
correct detergent compartment. The pre wash compartment is on the right hand side of
the drawer, marked or . When you select 'Pre Wash', the compartment is flushed at
