Wash Cycle ptions
All wash cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on the average expected load to be washed.
You can vary the options (eg ‘Wash Temp’, ‘Spin Speed’) to create your desired cycle.
Some options are not available on some cycles, for clothes care reasons, or because the option is
not appropriate for the cycle.
To change a wash option or options you have selected after a cycle has started, touch
and select your new setting, then touch
again to resume the cycle with the new setting or settings.
Some options may not be available for selection under certain conditions and after particular stages
of the cycle have passed.
Wash Temp
Your washer offers five wash temperatures:
• Cold
• Cool
• Warm
• Hot
• Extra Hot
▪ Simply touch the ‘Wash Temp’ button to increase or decrease the wash temperature.

▪ The washer will fill with both hot and cold water (if possible) to achieve the selected wash temperature.
▪ Some temperatures are not available on some cycles as a safeguard for your clothes (eg ‘Extra Hot’ on the
‘Delicate’ cycle).
When ‘Extra Hot’ temperature is selected, the door glass will become hot. Do not touch the
glass part of the door. Keep children away from the washer.
Time Saver (WH2424F model only)
Your washer offers a ‘Time Saver’ feature that when selected adjusts the cycle programming, by combining special
temperature profiling and a unique tumble sequence. The result – excellent wash performance combined with time
savings.
This option can be selected on the ‘Everyday’, ‘Cottons’, ‘Heavy’, ‘Perm Press’, ‘Sanitize’, ‘Sports’ and ‘Quick 30’ cycles.
Please be aware that 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.
Spin Speed
• Your washer offers four spin speeds: 500 rpm, 800 rpm, 1100 rpm and 1400 rpm, plus an additional ‘No Spin’
option.
• Simply increase or decrease the spin speed by touching the ‘Spin Speed’ button.
• Selecting ‘No Spin’ will end the cycle after the rinse, allowing you to remove items you wish to drip dry. Note: the
washer will complete the default wash and rinse spins for the cycle; only the final spin will not be completed. If
you have removed the items you wish to drip dry and there are items remaining that you would like to proceed to
spin, press ‘P WER’ and select the ‘Spin’ cycle. If necessary, modify the spin speed to best care for your load
(ie spin delicate items at 500 rpm for best garment care).
Soil Level (WH2424P model only)
The ‘Soil Level’ option lets you adjust the wash to suit the amount of soil in your load. For example, select ‘Heavy’ for
dirty clothes; for items that are only lightly soiled, select ‘Light’. This adjusts the wash time accordingly to give the load
the right amount of agitation to remove the soil.
Wash Boost
Pre Wash
For extra dirty loads you can perform a ‘Pre Wash’. Your washer will start the wash with a short wash in cool water to
remove excess soil. After this the machine will drain and then fill at the selected temperature for the main wash.

Simply touch the ‘Wash Boost’ button and select ‘Pre Wash’ when choosing your wash options.
‘Pre Wash’ cannot be selected after a wash cycle has been started, ie if you touch
and try to select ‘Pre Wash’ it will be unavailable. ‘Pre Wash’ must be selected at the start of the
cycle.
If you use the ‘Pre Wash’ option, liquid or powdered detergent needs to be placed in the correct detergent compartment.
The pre wash compartment is on the right hand side of the drawer, marked
. When you select ‘Pre Wash’, the compartment is flushed at the start of the cycle.
The detergent for the main wash can either be a powder or a liquid. Place this in the compartment marked
. If using liquid, ensure the internal compartment is installed.
Rinse+
If you have a particularly dirty load, or you have sensitive skin and wish to give your clothes an extra rinse, select
‘Rinse+’ from the ‘Wash Boost’ options. Your load will undergo an extra rinse to get rid of any residual detergent or soil
in the items. Note: ‘Rinse+’ will not be available if the ‘Eco’ option has been selected.
Steam (WH2424F model only)
The Steam option adds steam to the wash to actively loosen fibers to improve soil removal. Use the steam option if you
have a particularly heavily soiled load. This option is available on the ‘Everyday’, ‘Heavy’, ‘Bulky’ and ‘Sanitize’ cycles
only.
nly use with colorfast loads.
The ‘Steam’ option cannot be selected after a wash cycle has been started, ie if you touch

Do not touch the door when the steam option is selected. The door will get hot during the
steam phase of the cycle. Ensure no children play around the washer.
ptions
Soak (WH2424F model only)
A soak option is available on selected wash cycles. When this option is chosen the machine will add a one hour soak
sequence, which combines periods of tumbling with soaking to help lift stubborn stains.
If ‘Soak’ and ‘Time Saver’ are selected in the same cycle, the soak duration will be reduced to 30 minutes.
‘Soak’ is not available on the ‘Wool’, ‘Drum Clean’, ‘Quick’, ‘Rinse’ or ‘Spin’ Cycles.
Wrinkle Free
We recommend you remove the clothes from the washer immediately after the completion of the cycle to minimize
wrinkling and creasing of items and to prevent dye run. However, if you will not be present at the end of the cycle you
can select ‘Wrinkle Free’.
When ‘Wrinkle Free’ is selected, the washer will tumble the clothes once every 15 minutes for up to 12 hours after the
cycle has finished. The ‘Wrinkle Free’ light and
button will flash, and the washer will beep at regular intervals to remind you to remove your load. To remove the load
during this phase, simply press the
button.
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.
This option will not be available if ‘Rinse +’ has been selected.
• If you wish to, you can select both the ‘Pre Wash’ and ‘Rinse+’ ‘Wash Boost’ options to perform on the same

temperature selected is lower than ‘Hot’ temperature. ‘Add a Garment’ can be used when the total wash volume has
been reached, as your washer will drain the water to a lower level if necessary, so the door can be opened.

you can select are 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, then hourly up to 12 hours. This can be useful to time your washing to
finish when you arrive home from work, or to start once you have finished in the shower. Some stain removers also
