Options

Eco
Use the ECO option to save water. The ECO option uses a spray rinse
which has been specially designed to use at least 25% less water than
a traditional rinse. Use this option when you want to use less detergent
and less water. However, if you have low water pressure or sensitive skin
it is better to use a traditional rinse.
The ECO option has not been designed to be used with fabric softener,
as it does not have a second deep rinse to dispense the softener
correctly. Fabric softener should not be used if this option is selected.
Note: the ECO option is only available on the REGULAR and HEAVY cycles. If you try to select this
option on the HANDWASH, ALLERGY, EASY IRON or QUICK cycles, your washer will skip over the
option. The wash cycle will take slightly longer when the Eco option is selected.
There are some wash loads that may not suit being washed using the ECO option. For instance,
loads that have a lot of sand or sawdust in them or garments where the colour still runs from them.
Soak
Use the SOAK option to soak clothes at the end of the wash phase.
Ensure items are colourfast before using SOAK.
When you select SOAK your washer will soak for a period of 2 hours
before completing RINSE and SPIN. During SOAK your washer will
agitate for a few seconds every minute.
Important!
DO NOT use your washer to soak items in bleach or sanitiser, and if you've soaked items in a
bucket, do not tip the contents of the bucket into your machine. The chemicals in these products
are very corrosive to metal surfaces and can damage your washer. Rinse and wring items out
thoroughly before placing them in your machine.
Delay Start
The DELAY START option can delay the start of the wash cycle by 5 minutes up to 18 hours.
This can be useful to time your washing to finish when you arrive home from work, or to start
once you have finished in the shower. Simply touch the MORE
your desired delayed start time, or to turn delay start off. Touch START / PAUSE to confirm your
selection and start the countdown.
Note: we suggest that you avoid using DELAY START for damp, non-colourfast items as this may
cause dye run to occur.
Clothes care safeguards
To avoid accidentally damaging your clothes there are a few options that your washer will not
accept. For example, you cannot select a HOT wash on the HANDWASH or EASY IRON cycles.
