The Options

8. Max Spin Speed

This option allows you to change the auto sensing spin speed from fast (1000 rpm) down to medium (670 rpm).

9. Water Levels

Your Intuitive washer can automatically select the right water level for the load. As your machine fills it will pause occasionally to sense the water level. The machine will check if the water level is correct by using a series of 2 different agitate strokes. A slow stroke to sense the load and an agitate stroke to mix the load (this may take over a minute). If it detects that the water level is not high enough, it will fill with more water and recheck.

Your washer may occasionally add water during agitation. This is to maintain the water level due to the release of air trapped in the garments.

For some loads you may want to manually select the water level. When washing an unusual load, such as large bulky garments or pillows, we recommend you manually select the water level or use the COMFORTER lifecycle.

The agitator has five levels marked on its stem that can be used to help you select the correct water level. The mark nearest to the top of the clothes indicates the water level you should select. The levels marked on the agitator are a guide for the dry clothes and do not correspond exactly to the water level. Selecting a water level that is too high can cause out of balance loads, tangling or splash-over.

If there is already water in your Intuitive, before you start your wash, there may be a short pause before it starts washing. Depending on the amount of water in the bowl it may automatically start the detergent activating wash (without adding any more water) or move straight to the agitation wash if there is a lot of water in the bowl.

10. Traditional Wash

Your Intuitive washer can be set to a ‘traditional’ top loading wash, where the clothes are agitated in a bowl full of water at the temperature you have selected.

Select Traditional wash ON.
