Levelling instructions
It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure good spin performance.
A level is provided with your washer. The washer is level when the bubble sits in the centre,
within the two lines.
Your washer is equipped with self-locking feet at the front to ensure they do not move once
you have levelled your washer. Move the washer using the top corners, do not push the
centre front of the washer.
After levelling, the corners of the washer should be clear of the floor and the washer must
not rock in any direction.

Inlet hose ends
Inlet hoses
Failure to adhere to the following instructions may result in a flood and
damage to property:
This clothes washer should be plumbed into both a hot and cold water supply otherwise
some cycles may not function correctly. Your washer does not have an internal heater to
heat water.
Only use the new hose set provided with your washer.
Water supply requirements:
zIf you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating
system) you should fit a tempering valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature
remains within safe limits. Contact your registered plumber to select and install the
tempering valve.
zYour cold water should not exceed 35°C and your hot water should not exceed
65°C. Temperatures above these may cause the machine to fault or cause damage
to the machine.
zInlet water static pressure: Max.1MPa(145psi) Min.34KPa (5psi).
zInlet water flow rate at tap: Min.8litres/min.

Draining
To prevent siphoning the drain hose should not extend more than 20mm from the end of
the guide. The height of the standpipe or tub should be between 850 – 1200mm. The drain
hose can be trimmed to length.
zRegularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint or other obstructions, which
may affect how your washer works or may cause flooding.
zIn multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the washer should be installed on a floor
equipped with a drain.
zDraining must comply with local by-laws.
zWe recommend replacing the inlet hoses every 5 years. Hoses should be checked from
time to time and replaced if any wear, cuts, bulges, kinks or leaks are found.
Electrical connection
zThis appliance must be supplied with a 220 – 240V, 50Hz, sinusoidal,
10Aelectrical supply.
Placing the drain hose in a standpipe or tub:
1 Carefully pull the drain hose out from the
back of the washer by pulling the exposed
part of the hose downward and outward.
2 To guide the drain hose over the tub or
standpipe the hose guide MUST be fitted to
the drain hose.
3 Place the drain hose in the tub or standpipe.
Do not fit the hose to a drain spigot. Drainage
must not be airtight in order to prevent
siphoning.

a cycle. In addition, the actual wash time depends largely on the size of your wash load, therefore
can vary by a number of minutes.

THE CLEANSMART™ WASH
Some cycles can be used in both modes, whilst others are available in only one.
CYCLE HE ON HE OFF
Regular
Heavy
Handwash
Sheets –
Easy Iron –
Bulky –
Allergy
Quick –
Towels
These two wash modes mean that your CleanSmart™ washer gives you the best of both
worlds, accommodating any laundry situation.
The CleanSmart™ washer has two modes of washing, HE ON (HIGH EFFICIENCY) and HE OFF
(CONVENTIONAL). Both modes start the same way, with a Detergent Activating wash.
Detergent Activating wash
CleanSmart™ fills the bowl at the selected water temperature,
with just enough water so the clothes are saturated. This small
amount of sudsy water flows through the clothes, up a specially
designed portal and back onto the clothes in a waterfall effect. This
thoroughly dissolves and activates the detergent.
High Efficiency On (High Efficiency mode)
In the High Efficiency mode the CleanSmart™ then fills with just
enough cool water to lift the clothes off the low-profile agitator so
that when it rotates, the clothes gently roll over each other. This
wash gives you the benefit of water savings, using similar quantities
of water to most front loaders.
High Efficiency Off (Conventional mode)
The Conventional mode is the immersion wash all top-load washer
users are familiar with. However, this mode still uses less water than
that of other top loaders which utilise the immersion wash. After
the Detergent Activating wash the CleanSmart™ fills with cold water
until the clothes are submerged, and gently turns the clothes over.
We recommend this mode when the dilution effect of water can
solve or prevent common wash problems. For example, when dye
or colour run can be a problem (ie new, dark-coloured garments),
or when washing sandy towels.

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 tell you about the fabric of the garment and how it should be washed.
Before you load
zCheck pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.
zClose 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.
zPlace delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag before placing in the washer.
zPre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer as they can
cause damage to the plastic surfaces.
Selecting the right detergent
zYour CleanSmart™ washer is a High Efficiency clothes washer and needs a low sudsing
detergent to prevent over-sudsing problems. This is the same type of detergent Front
Loaders use and is labelled, “Low Suds”, “Front Loader”, “High Efficiency” or “HE”.
zWe recommend the use of liquid detergents in most washing situations to achieve the
best results. This is particularly important when washing dark garments.
zWhen washing woollens use a wool detergent but use it sparingly as these are usually
very high foaming.
zDo not use soap flakes or granulated soap powders.
How much detergent?
Follow the instructions stated on the back of the detergent packet as a guide to the correct
amount to use. The correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of
soil in your clothes and the size of your load. Jeans and work clothes may need more and
towels less.
zIf you have over-foaming problems, reduce your dosage.
zIf your clothes are not clean enough, try using a bit more.
Where do I put my detergent?
Place your detergent into the detergent dispenser, located on the
left side of the washer. We recommend that you measure your
detergent first.
You will notice that most of the detergent placed in the dispenser
will fall into the washer. It will remain in an area separated from
your clothes until the washer begins to fill. As the washer fills, the
dispenser will be flushed of any residue. The detergent is then
mixed with water at the bottom of the washer, dissolving and
activating it to ensure optimum wash performance.
