Your WashSmart™ uses a dual-action wash to give excellent wash performance while taking great
care of your clothes. We call this the Eco Active™ wash. The two parts to the Eco Active™ wash are
explained below:
Wash 1 – Detergent activating wash (front-loader type wash)
Your WashSmart™ washer fills the bowl at the selected
temperature with just enough water so that your
clothes are 100% saturated. This small amount of sudsy
water flows down through the clothes, into the bowl
base then up a specially designed portal and back
onto the clothes in a cascade effect. This wash action
thoroughly dissolves and activates the detergent.
The concentrated solution of detergent and water
rapidly targets stains and soils at the fibre-level of
fabrics, boosting soil removal and accelerating the

wash process.
Wash 2 – Agitation wash (top-loader type wash)
After recirculating the sudsy water through your
clothes for 4 minutes, your WashSmart™ washer will fill
with just enough cold water to suspend the clothes in
solution. Agitation will then begin, moving soil away
from the clothes.
Note: the detergent activating wash is the only time
during the cycle that hot water is used (when the
machine is completely full the water will be lukewarm).
If you need hot water during the agitation part of the
wash, select the ALLERGY cycle.
