WASH OPTIONS
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 HAND WASH or EASY IRON
cycles (WashSmart™ model) and DELICATE or WOOL cycles (QuickSmart™ model), nor can
you select the ECO option on anything other than the HEAVY DUTY or REGULAR cycles (both
models).
Washing woollens
Many woollen items carry a ‘Machine Washable’ care claim. The fibres of these woollens
have been treated to prevent felting when they are machine washed.

Check the care label.

Use a wool detergent.
z
Use the specially designed HAND WASH cycle (WashSmart™ model) or WOOL cycle
(QuickSmart™model).
z
To dry woollens lie them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry out of direct sunlight.
Most handcrafted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend
that you wash them by hand only. Hand washed woollens may be spun in your washer
(select SLOW spin speed).
Some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing machine but
could produce excessive amounts of lint that may cause pump blockages.
Washing bulky items
Forcing large items into the machine may result
in them being damaged during washing. Make
sure there is enough room in the machine for
items to move when being washed.
Some items float up during the wash
(egduvets / doonas, water-proof and water-
resistant items and pillows). If they sit too high
they may touch stationary parts of the machine
during agitate or spin. To minimise the chance of
this happening, ensure bulky items are pushed
back down into the water after fill, and pushed
down again to sit below the medium high water
level mark on the agitator before spinning. Select
a
SLOW spin.
To prevent an out of balance load or splash-over we recommend washing all bulky items,
including water-proof and water-resistant items, on the
HAND WASH OR DELICATE cycle.
