Draining wash and deep rinse water

At the end of the wash stage and deep rinse stage, if deep
rinse is selected, the Water Aid recirculation pump will stop.
There will be a delay to allow water to flow through washbowl
drain holes into the outer bowl. After the delay, the drain
pump will start pumping water out through the drain hose
and then the pump will stop.
The drain pump will cycle 'ON' and 'OFF' in this manner
several times, waiting each time for water to move from the
washbowl to the outer bowl before starting again.
You will hear the drain pump switching on and off during
draining stages of the wash program.

The rinse options

There are two rinses to choose from... Eco rinse and Deep
rinse.

How does Eco Rinse work?

When Eco Rinse is used, rinse water is sprayed into the
washbowl in pulses. After each pulse the washbowl will
spin to remove detergent laden water from the clothes.
The machine will go through a series of five pulse spray and
short spin cycles in this manner, followed by a final long spin
that removes the water from the clothes to complete the full
wash program.
Compare this with deep rinse where much more water is used.
For deep rinse, water enters the machine filling up to the
wash water level selected. The washer agitates and finally
empties the rinse water through the drain hose. If the
recirculation system is active during a deep rinse, the water
saving is similar to the wash. In the "Water Consumption
Comparison" table on page iii you can see the water
savings made from using Eco Rinse combined with water
savings due to recirculation.

Detergent and fabric softener dispensers

Model 806 has a dispenser drawer that will automatically
add detergent and fabric softener to your wash load,
dispensing them at the correct time in the wash program
you have selected. You will find the dispenser drawer in the
top panel of your washing machine, above the washbowl.
The dispenser can be used with powder or liquid detergents
by following the instructions on pages 5 and 6.
If you prefer not to use the dispenser to add detergent, mix
the detergent in one litre of hot or warm water and add
pre-mixed detergent to your wash load in the washbowl.
You must use the dispenser drawer if you select the Delay
start option.
Model 606 does not have a dispenser drawer. You add
detergent mixed with water directly to the washbowl.
It does have a dispenser for fabric softener in the filter
column at the top of the agitator. The fabric softener will
be automatically dispensed at the correct time in the wash
program. For instructions, refer page 6.
