Washing Bulky Items

Forcing large items into the machine may result in them being damaged during washing. Make sure there is enough room in the machine for items to move when being washed.

Some items float up during the wash, (eg duvets/ doonas and pillows). If they sit too high they may touch stationary parts of the machine during agitate or spin. To minimize the chance of this happening, bulky items should be pushed down below the water level after fill and pushed to sit below the medium high water level mark on the agitator before spinning. Select a slow spin.

To prevent an out of balance load or splashover we recommend washing these items on the Delicate cycle. If you wish to re-spin the load at a faster speed make sure the load is sitting below the medium-high mark before spinning.

Bulky items should sit below the medium high water level mark.

Washing Woollens

The Wool Cycle has been approved by the New Zealand Wool Board and the Australian Wool Corporation for Woolmark products carrying a MACHINE WASHABLE care claim. The fibres of these woollens have been treated to prevent felting when they are machine washed. Most handknitted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend that you wash them by hand.

Check the care label.

Use a wool detergent.

Use the Wool cycle.

Hand washed woollens may be spun in your Smart Drive®.

To dry woollens lie them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry out of direct sunlight.

Some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing machine but may produce excessive amounts of lint that may cause pump blockages.
