Washing Woollens
The WOOL option is for washing MACHINE WASHABLE woollens. The fibres of these woollens have been treated to prevent felting when they are
Check the care label. Use a wool detergent. Use the WOOL option.
Hand washed woollens may be spun in your washer. 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.
Washing Bulky Items
Make sure there is enough room in the machine for items to move when being washed, as forcing large items into the machine may result in them being damaged during washing. Some items float up during the wash, (such as comforters and pillows). If they sit too high they may touch stationary parts of the machine during agitate or spin. To minimise 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. To prevent an out of balance load and splashing we recommend washing these items on the COMFORTER lifecycle or the HANDWASH option and manually selecting the water level to suit the load size.
Diaper Sanitisers/Bleach
Diaper sanitisers and bleach are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT use your autowasher to soak items in bleach or sanitiser, or tip the contents of the diaper bucket into your machine. Rinse and wring items out thoroughly before placing them in your machine, then rinse using the DIAPER RINSE option.
