Sorting And Loading - Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart WL4027P Instructions D'installation Et Guide D'utilisation

Fully automatic water level
You may notice that your AquaSmart™ clothes washer behaves differently from your previous washer.
Your AquaSmart™, like all High Efficiency washers, has a fully automatic water level. This means
that the selection of the water level is left entirely up to the washer. This ensures optimum wash
performance and water savings.
Should you wish to use more water, simply select High Efficiency OFF where available (refer to
page 22).
Sorting and loading explained
You have bought a High Efficiency washer, so like Front Loaders your AquaSmart™ uses much less
water and energy than traditional top loading clothes washers. It is important to sort your wash
load to ensure optimum wash performance.
Sheets
Separate out sheets and comforter covers and use the SHEETS cycle which has been especially
designed for these items. Ensure that comforter covers are buttoned or domed closed before
placing in the washer. To get the best possible wash, load these items individually as 'parcels'
toward the outer edge of the basket (ie to the side of, not directly across the low profile agitator)
and in layers (two items per layer).
Colored items
Dye or color run can be a problem with High Efficiency washers, so separate highly colored
garments especially when they are new and have not been washed many times. Choose the EASY
IRON or DELICATE cycle, High Efficiency OFF and COLD wash temp options. Most dye transfer
occurs when clothes are left too long in the machine at the completion of the cycle so try not to
leave your colored clothes lingering in the washer.
Bulky items
Comforters, sleeping bags, water-proof items, ski jackets, blankets and throws are all items which
tend to behave unusually in a clothes washer. The lighter items tend to float, while a large blanket
can get very heavy and make spinning difficult. Your AquaSmart™ has a specific BULKY cycle
option designed to help take care of these washing challenges.
Creasables
When you are concerned about creasing or wrinkling of items we recommend you use the
EASY IRON or DELICATE cycles. Alternatively, select one of the Conventional cycles (ie where
High Efficiency mode is OFF). The extra water used by these cycles will help to reduce creasing.
Reducing the SPIN SPEED may also help (refer to page 35).
Jeans
These heavy items can be responsible for damaging other items in the wash and require special
attention when it comes to washing them. We feel that they should be washed separately using
the EASY IRON or DELICATE cycle, High Efficiency OFF and COLD wash temp options, or using the
BULKY cycle (with COLD wash temp).
Hint: turn your jeans inside-out before washing to help maintain their appearance.
