2.6.1 Manual Water Level
The agitator has 5 levels marked on its stem that can be used to help the user select the correct
water level. Select the correct water level by using the mark nearest to the top of the clothes.
The levels marked on the agitator are a guide for the clothes and do not correspond exactly to the
water level.
Occasionally water may be added during agitation. This is to maintain the water level due to the
release of air trapped in the garments.
For example: If the garments sat between the medium and high marks on the agitator, choosing a
medium water level would be better than choosing a high water level. Alternatively additional
garments could be added so that the garments were brought closer to the high mark.
High 2.12in / 54mm
Medium High 4.13in / 105mm
Medium 6.69in / 170mm
Medium Low 9.64in / 245mm
Low 11.81in / 300mm
2.6.2 Auto Water Level
The machine automatically selects the appropriate water level for the load when AUTO Water
Level is selected, and will choose one of the pre-existing 5 water levels (low, medium low, medium,
medium high and high). During fill the machine pauses occasionally to sense the water level. The
machine checks if the water level is correct by using a series of 2 different agitate strokes. A slow
stroke to sense the load and an agitate stroke to mix the load. If the machine detects that that
water level is too low it will fill with more water and check the level again.
·
When washing an unusual load eg. large bulky garments, pillows, it is recommend that the
water level is manually selected.
·
Manually select the water level if there is already water in the basket.
If the machine does not fill to the correct level, the auto water level can be adjusted in the Option
Adjustment Mode.
