Sounds and Beeps

Your Intuitive washer will make sounds that you will not have heard from other autowashers.

Filling

If your autowasher alternates filling and agitating, when AUTO SENSING is selected, it is checking that it has the right amount of water for the clothes load.

Agitating/Draining

The motor will pulse before agitate and while draining before spin. This may sound like several low thuds. Your machine is checking there is enough water in the bowl before agitating and that the water has drained before spinning. During drain your washer will turn the pump off and on about every 10 seconds. This is to help prevent foreign objects getting caught in the pump.

Beeps

Your washer will beep at the end of the cycle and if you have used Drip Dry or Pre-wash. If your machine is beeping continuously or giving a musical series of beeps refer to page 36.

Products that might damage your Intuitive

Concentrated bleaches, diaper sanitizers, some pre-treatment products and hydrocarbon solvents (e.g. gasoline and paint thinners) can cause damage to the paintwork and components of your autowasher. Be careful when washing garments stained with these solvents, as they are flammable. DO NOT put them in your dryer.

Use of dyes in your autowasher may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will not damage the machine but we suggest you thoroughly clean your autowasher afterwards. We do not recommend the use of dye strippers in your washer.

Some pre-treatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer’s control panel and plastic components, so do not use these products on or around your autowasher. Spraying stain removers onto the lid can strip oils from the plastic, causing damage.
