ACTIVEINTELLIGENCE™
Your washer has ACTIVEINTELLIGENCE™ technology that optimises the wash cycle to clean
your laundry more effectively and efficiently.
ACTIVEINTELLIGENCE™ technology allows the washer to:
z
Sense both the size and soil level of your wash load.
z
Dispense the right dose of detergent for each load.
z
Determine the length of wash time best suited to individual wash loads.
ACTIVEINTELLIGENCE™ is activated by default for the
following wash cycles:

Detergent
Your washer requires low-sudsing detergent to prevent oversudsing problems. Low sudsing
detergent comes in powder or liquid and is labelled front loading, low suds, high efficiency
or HE. Using top loader detergent in your front loader washer may lead to excessive suds
formation, which will lengthen the cycle time as the washer waits for the suds to dissolve.
The same detergent can be used for all cycles and temperatures.
The washer has auto dosing compartments for liquid detergent and fabric softener, and
a manual dosing compartment for powder or liquid detergent. Ensure that detergent and
softener are filled correctly into their respective compartments.
Do not overfill the detergent compartment. Too much detergent could result in waterand
detergent spilling onto the floor.
Make sure that the dispenser is completely closed before starting the cycle. Donotopen it
again until the cycle is complete and the washer has stopped spinning.
AUTO DOSE LIQUID DETERGENT COMPARTMENT
Stores up to 1100ml (max) of liquid detergent
suitablefor several washes depending on load size.
AUTO DOSE FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT
Stores up to 540ml (max) of fabric softener
suitablefor several washes depending on load size.
MANUAL DOSE LIQUID/POWDER
DETERGENT COMPARTMENT
For liquid or powder detergent used for a
single wash and when PRE WASH is selected.
DETERGENT AND SOFTENER
Detergent advice
If unpleasant odours are noticeable from your washer, it is possible that not enough
detergent is being used for the soil level in your loads. Run a
DRUM CLEAN cycle and either
buy a better quality detergent or use a higher dose.
If you find foam leaking from your washer, check if you are using a low sudsing or front
loader type detergent. When using
MANUAL DOSE, check the quantity you are using against
the manufacturer’s recommended dose on the label. You may need to reduce the amount
you are using.
If using
AUTO DOSE you may need to reduce or increase the amount used. Refer to ‘Wash
cycle options’ for details on how to adjust the dosage.
18
Fabric softener
The washer will automatically flush the fabric softener during the rinse part of the cycle.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:
z
If you fill beyond the MAX mark, the fabric softener will be dispensed into the drum
prematurely and contribute to a waxy built-up.
z
Fabric softener cannot be selected on ECO 40-60, SNEAKERS, STEAM REFRESH, SILK or the
QUICK 15 cycles.
z
The amount of softener dispensed depends on load size.
Fabric softener advice
z
Clean your dispenser regularly.
z
Clean your washer regularly using the DRUM CLEAN cycle.
z
Complete wash cycles at a wash temperature of 40°C or above at regular intervals
(egevery 5thwash) as washing in cold water increases the chance of a waxy
build-up occurring.
Waxy build-up can occur within any washer when fabric softener comes in contact with
detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the washing machine. If allowed
to build up in the washer it can result in stains on clothes and an unpleasant smell in
your washer.
Auto Dose
AUTO DOSE DETERGENT is the default setting for allwashcycles (except SILK, WOOL, ECO
40-60
and DRUM CLEAN). Only liquid detergent can be used for AUTO DOSE. AUTO DOSE will
automatically dispense the right amount of liquid detergent and fabric softener (optional)
perwashcycle.
If you select a wash cycle with
ACTIVEINTELLIGENCE™, AUTO DOSE will dispense the right
amount of detergentbased on soil level and load size. If you turn off ACTIVEINTELLIGENCE™,
AUTO DOSE willdispense the right amount of detergent based onlyonloadsize.
If you wish to add fabric softener, you need to select
SOFTENER using the AUTO DOSE button.
z
Auto dosing of fabric softener can be used in combination with both auto andmanual
dosing of detergent.
We do not recommend storing laundry wash products containing acetic acid, eg vinegar, in
the AUTO DOSE compartments.
If using Auto Dose
Fill the
LIQUID DETERGENT compartment up to the MAX level indicated.
Fill the
FABRIC SOFTENER compartment upto the MAX level indicated.
If softener is selected, the washer will automatically dispense the fabric softener during the
rinse part of eachcycle.
DETERGENT AND SOFTENER
19
DETERGENT AND SOFTENER
Manual Dose
Liquid or powder detergent can be used for
MANUAL DOSE.
Where a detergent for a certain fabric and/or cycle is recommended,
MANUAL DOSE
is the default setting (eg SILK, WOOL, DRUM CLEAN). WhenMANUAL DOSEis selected
ACTIVEINTELLIGENCE™ is disabled.
If using Manual Dose
MANUAL DOSE can dispense powder or liquid detergent for washing.
Follow the instructions stated on the detergent label as a guide when determining
thecorrect dosage of detergent suitable for your wash load.
The detergent dosage needed may vary depending on the amount of soil, size of the load
and the water quality.
20
WASH PREPARATION
Sorting
Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics
separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites, especially
when they are new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at highertemperatures.
Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water. Oilysoils (eg some foods
and marks on shirt collars) are best washed in warm water. The care label will advise on
how the garment should be washed.
Before you load
z
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.
z
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/
doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your washer
and your clothes.
z
Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag before placing in the washer.
z
Pre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer as they can
cause damage to the plastic surfaces.
Loading
Your washer will be more efficient when washing larger loads, try to fill your washer to the
maximum load size for the cycle selected (refer to ‘Wash cycles’).

of the cycle; only the final spin will not
be completed.
Wash Temp
Your washer has five wash temperatures (
COLD, 30°C, 40°C, 60°C and 90°C).
Some temperatures are not available on some cycles as a safeguard for your clothes
(egtemperatures above 40°C on the

CUSTOMISING A WASH CYCLE
Optimise Wash
Your washer offers three optimise wash modes –
SPEED, ECO and QUIET – allowing you to
reduce noise, save water and energy or save time. For clothes care reasons not all options
are available on all cycles.
Speed
A special feature designed to offer a shorter cycle whilst maintaining wash performance.
This option can be selected on
MIXED, SHEETS, TOWELS, COTTON and HEAVY cycles.
A number of factors can influence the amount of time saved on a cycle, including the load
size, cycle chosen, water flow rate and load distribution during spin.
Eco
Use the
ECO option to save water and energy. Selecting ECO will reduce the wash
temperature slightly and alter the wash and rinse programming.
z
SPEED and ECO cannot be selected together.
Quiet
Use
QUIET mode when washing at night, if your washer is installed on a wooden floor, and/
or when noise is a concern. This mode reduces the spin speed to limit the level of noise
emitted, but may increase the level of moisture remaining in the load.
z
QUIET and SPEED cannot be selected together.

2
When you have finished using your washer
z
Turn off the taps to prevent the chance of
flooding should a hose burst.
z
Unplug the washer from the power socket.
Cleaning your washer
Before you start cleaning your washer, ensure
that it is disconnected from the power (ie
unplug the washer from the power socket).
Aside from the detergent dispenser, water
hose(s), and the pump filter, no other parts
are designed to be removed from the washer
for cleaning. Do not attempt to remove any
other part of the washer.
Cleaning the control panel and outer surfaces of the washer
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, and wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or scouring
cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your washer.
To empty the dispenser drawer, turn the
dispenser drawer upside down in the sink
and allow the leftover laundry liquid from the
AUTO DOSE compartments to drain.
35
3
CARING FOR YOUR WASHER
Toclean the dispenser drawer, fill the
compartments with warm water and shake
lightly to clear residue. Use a descaling
agent and brush to remove stubborn residue
and limescale.
Drain all water from the compartments before
re-fitting the dispenser drawer to thewasher.
Cleaning the drum and the door
z
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the door, cleaning any water marks or residue off it.
z
Wipe the rubber seal around the door. Remove any items or lint accumulating in the
bottom of the seal catchment and wipe out any water accumulated here. If this is not
cleaned out, unpleasant odours will develop.
z
If the drum has any residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe the drum clean.
Do not leave any metal objects in the drum as these may rust and cause staining.
Leave the door to your washer open when it is not in use to allow the washer to dry out,
otherwise it will develop unpleasant odours. When leaving the door open like this, it is
extremely important that children and pets are kept away from the washer so they cannot
be accidentally trapped inside it.
Cleaning the hose(s)
Each hose has a filter in it, preventing any solid contaminants in the water entering your
washing machine. Occasionally you should disconnect the water inlet hose(s) where they
connect to the tap(s), check these for any build up of dirt and wash this out.
4
To disassemble the dispenser drawer further
for cleaning, unhook the two clips at the rear
of the drawer dispenser to remove the cover.
Ensure the dispenser drawer is correctly
reassembled before re-fitting the dispenser
drawer tothe washer.

CARING FOR YOUR WASHER
Descaling
If water hardness in your area is high or moderate we recommend regular checks of your
washer drum for limescale. Run a
DRUM CLEAN cycle with no load using a water descaling
product for washing machines at least twice a year.
Products that might damage your washer
z
Concentrated bleaches, laundry pre-soakers/sanitisers, stain removers and hydrocarbon
solvents (eg petrol and paint thinners) can cause damage to the surfaces eg control
panel, and components of your washer.
z
Be careful when washing garments stained with solvents as they are flammable. DO NOT
put them in your dryer.
z
Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will
not damage the washer but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards.
We do not recommend the use of dye strippers in your washer.
z
Nappy sanitisers and bleach are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT tip the
contents of a nappy bucket into your washer. Rinse and wring items out thoroughly
before placing them in the washer.
Moving your washer
Make sure any water in the washer is drained out. This can be done by cleaning out the
pump filter, refer to ‘Cleaning the pump filter’.
Saving water, energy and the environment
Water efficient washing machines will save you money, but it is also worth thinking about
energy use, recycling water and the environment. Some options to consider are:
z
Turn the washer off at the wall when not in use.
z
Turn off the taps when not in use.
z
Select cooler wash temperatures.
z
Wash full loads rather than several smaller loads.
z
Use the ECO wash function (where available).
z
Follow instructions on the detergent packet or bottle – do not overdose.
z
Use concentrated detergent – it costs less per wash.
z
Consider re-using the washing machines grey water on the garden or for flushing your
toilet – more information can be found on government websites promoting energy
and water saving.

44
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Creasing Washer overloaded. Do not overload the washer.
Incorrect cycle for
loadtype.
Use the
HANDWASH or STEAM REFRESH cycle
