Fisher & Paykel IWL12 Eco Active Wash, Wash 1 Detergent Activating Wash Front Loader Type Wash

Eco Active™ Wash

EN

The Eco Active™ wash in your Intuitive is a unique washing method that uses a combination of front loader and top loader washing technologies. This dual action wash gives excellent wash performance and means you retain the convenience and capacity of a top loading machine while introducing the gentle cascade wash action and energy efficiency of a front loader.

Wash 1 – Detergent Activating Wash

(Front Loader Type Wash)

Your Intuitive washer fills the tub, at the selected temperature, with just enough water so that your clothes are 100% saturated. This small amount of sudsy water flows through the clothes, up a specially designed portal and back onto the clothes in a cascade effect. This wash action thoroughly dissolves and activates the detergent.

The concentrated solution of detergent and water rapidly targets stains and soils at the fibre level, boosting soil removal and accelerating the wash process.

Wash 2 – Agitation Wash

(Top Loader Type Wash)

After recirculating the sudsy water through the clothes for 2–5 minutes, your Intuitive will fill with just enough cool water to suspend the clothes in solution. Your washer will then sense the average fabric type of the load and begin the agitation wash. Agitating massages the soil off the fibres and away from the clothes. Due to its concentrated head-start the clothes require less agitation than a conventional top load washer.

Note: The Detergent activating wash is the only time during the cycle that hot water is used (when the machine is completely full, the water will be lukewarm). (Also refer to Traditional Wash page 22).
