Sports
Outdoor activities can create some unique washing challenges. We have created four helpful
wash cycles to quickly deal with these situations, with no thinking required.
Sweaty
The clothes you exercise in require a little extra care to remove the odours and
dirt that tend to penetrate into the fabric structure. This cycle incorporates a
warm/hot wash with a fast spin to thoroughly clean sweaty sports clothes.
Muddy
Clothes soiled with mud need to be washed in a special way, so that all traces
can be removed. Mud requires a cold wash with lots of dilution. Cold water is
the key, as washing in warm can set mud stains. This cycle uses a cold wash
with extra rinses to help remove mud from clothing.
Sports Shoes
The SPORT SHOES cycle has been designed to freshen up sports shoes. This
cycle uses a warm/cold, conventional wash with light agitation. A 30 minute
soak helps to penetrate into the fabric structure to remove dirt. This is followed
by a double deep rinse, and slow spin to finish off.
Beach Gear
Sand, grass and other bits can get into your wash after a day in the outdoors.
The BEACH GEAR cycle helps to remove these impurities from the creases of
your clothes, by using a cold wash with generous rinses. This cycle can also
be useful for minimising the effects of any impurities that may be in your
household water supply.
Clean up
Maintaining your AquaSmart™ in top condition will ensure that you receive the optimum wash
each and every time.
Clean Me
If you regularly use fabric softener, or only wash in cold water we recommend
that you use the CLEAN ME cycle to clean your AquaSmart™ washer 5 – 6
times a year. This will reduce the risk of Scrud (see page 11) forming on
your wash bowl. This cycle uses a hot wash to clean the bowl and rinse out
the fabric softener dispenser. This is followed by a two hour soak then it is
finished with two deep rinses and a very short spin. After 100 cycles your
machine will remind you to complete a CLEAN ME cycle.
1
Remove all items from the washer.
2
Add about 2 scoops of a powdered detergent that contains phosphate.
3
Select the CLEAN ME cycle, and press START.
Lifestyle cycles
Family
Some common household washing situations may require extra washing knowledge. We have
created five unique FAMILY cycles to help you with those tricky situations.
Duvet/Doona
Duvets and doonas can be difficult items to wash as they are bulky and often float
out of the water. This special cycle has a specially designed wash action with a
double deep rinse to care for these bulky items. It is important to check care labels.
Only wash duvets/doonas which are machine washable. We do not recommend
washing products labelled “dry clean only” in this machine.
Allergy
The ALLERGY cycle has been specifically designed for asthma sufferers and
people with sensitive skin. A hot concentrated Eco Active™ wash decimates
dust mites and bugs, and the lengthy rinses and fast spin remove all dust mite
waste and traces of detergent. This cycle is not recommended for garments
prone to colour run.
Hygiene
When someone in your home is ill or has an infection, the way you wash can
help to prevent re-infection or others becoming ill. Separate out infected
washing, use slightly more detergent. The HYGIENE cycle incorporates a hot
concentrated Eco Active™ wash and warm agitate to target bugs, and lengthy
rinses to remove all detergent traces. We recommend drying these garments
in direct sunlight, or using the hottest setting on your dryer that the fabric can
handle. This cycle is not recommended for garments prone to colour run or
shrinkage.
Nappy Rinse
The NAPPY RINSE cycle is great for rinsing nappy sanitisers from cloth nappies,
prior to being washed. The nappies are slowly spun, then given two deep
rinses, followed by an additional spray rinse, then a fast spin.
Soft Toys
This gentle cycle has been designed to take special care of the smallest family
member’s special friends. Soft toys are treated to a lukewarm gentle bath and
then double deep rinse to ensure that detergent traces are removed from fur.
For very special friends, we would suggest using a gentle, wool wash detergent.
