The Unique Aquasmart™ Wash - Fisher & Paykel AQUASMART WL26CW1 Service Supplement Manual

2 THE UNIQUE AQUASMART™ WASH
The AquaSmart™ is a SmartDrive™ based washing machine that has two modes of washing, High
Efficiency & Conventional. It is essentially a front loader and a top loader washer in one.
Both washing modes start the same way, with a detergent activating wash.
Detergent Activating Wash
AquaSmart™ fills at the selected water temperature, with just enough water
so that the clothes are saturated. This concentrated detergent solution is
then recirculated through the wash.
activates the detergent.
High Efficiency Mode (front loader type wash)
In the High Efficiency mode, the AquaSmart™ then fills with just enough
cool water to lift the clothes off the low profile agitator, so that when it
rotates, the clothes gently roll over each other. This wash uses similar
quantities of water to most Front Loaders and so, not only are there the
benefits of water savings, but also the higher detergent concentrations give
optimum soil removal.
Conventional Mode (top loader type wash)
The Conventional mode is the immersion wash all Top Loader users are
familiar with. After the Detergent Activating Wash, the AquaSmart™ fills
with cold water until the clothes are underwater, whilst gently turning the
clothes over. We recommend this mode when the dilution effect of water
can solve or prevent common wash problems. For example when dye or
colour run can be a problem, or when washing sandy towels. Sheets are
better washed in this mode. Some cycles can be used in both modes,
whilst others work in only one
