Wash options – saving water and time
Eco
WashSmart™ and QuickSmart™ models
Use the ECO option to save water. The ECO option uses an Eco Spray rinse which has been specially designed to use at least 25% less water than a traditional rinse. Use this option when you want to use less detergent and less water. However, if you have low water pressure or sensitive skin it is better to use a traditional rinse.
The ECO option has not been designed to be used with fabric softener, as it does not have a second deep rinse to dispense the softener correctly. Fabric softener should not be used if this option is selected.
Note: the ECO option is only available on the REGULAR and HEAVY DUTY cycles. If you try to select this option on the HAND WASH, ALLERGY or EASY IRON cycles (WashSmart™ model), or the WOOL or DELICATE cycles (QuickSmart™ model), your washer will not allow you to select it. ECO will take slightly longer than a normal spray and deep rinse.
There are some wash loads that may not suit being washed using the ECO option. For instance, loads that have a lot of sand or sawdust in them or garments where the colour still runs from them.

WashSmart™ model only
Our WashSmart™ model provides an excellent opportunity to save time. Use the QUICK WASH option to halve the wash time during the REGULAR, HEAVY DUTY, HAND WASH or EASY IRON wash cycles. We recommend using the QUICK WASH option for lightly soiled loads.
Note: when the QUICK WASH and SOAK options are selected at the same time, the soak time will also be halved.
The QUICK WASH option has not been designed to be used with fabric softener as it does not have a second deep rinse to dispense the softener correctly. Fabric softener should not be used if this option is selected.
