Fully Automatic Water Level; Sorting And Loading - Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart WL37T26C Instructions D'installation Et Guide De L'utilisateur

Fully automatic water level

18
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, like Front Loaders, 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 a Conventional cycle (refer to Conventional
mode page 17).

Sorting and loading

You have bought a High Efficiency washer, 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.
BED SHEETS – Separate out bed sheets and comforter covers and use the BED SHEETS
cycle which has been especially designed for these items. Ensure that comforter covers
are buttoned or zipped up. To get the best possible wash for bed sheets, load these items
around the edge of the tub rather than directly across the low profile agitator.
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 choose the COLORS
cycle. Most dye transfer occurs when clothes are left too long in the washer at the
completion of the cycle so try not to leave your colored clothes lingering in the washer.
BULKY ITEMS – Comforters, sleeping bags, ski jackets , blankets and throws are all items
which tend to behave unusually in a clothes washer. The lighter ones tend to float, while
a large blanket can get very heavy and make spinning difficult. Your AquaSmart™ has
specific BULKY cycles designed to take care of these washing challenges.
ITEMS THAT WRINKLE – When you are concerned about creasing or wrinkling we
recommend you use the EASY IRON cycle. Alternatively select one of the Conventional
cycles. The extra water used by these cycles will help to reduce wrinkling. Reducing the
spin speed of the wash may also help (refer to page 23).
JEANS – These heavy items are responsible for damaging other items in the wash and
require their own specific wash action to get clean. We feel so strongly that they should
be washed separately we created a special JEANS cycle in the Lifestyle menu. Select
LIFESTYLE, SPECIAL CARE, JEANS.
SOIL – Very dirty, sandy, or linty loads are best washed separately to prevent transfer
onto other garments. It may be that you have new towels that create lots of lint or very
sandy beach gear. We suggest using a Conventional cycle in this circumstance.
DELICATES – To take extra care of delicate items, we suggest using the DELICATE , or
HANDWASH cycles. For HANDWASH select LIFESTYLE, SPECIAL CARE, HANDWASH.
