Saving water
Manual suds save with syphon back
If you have a large tub near your washing machine and a separate drain outlet, you can set up another method of reusing the water.
The tub should hold a minimum of 100 litres or have an overflow.
1Select SOAK on the first wash cycle.
2At the end of the wash phase place the drain hose in the tub.
3Cancel SOAK (press ADVANCE button). The suds water will be pumped into the tub. Do not leave your machine until pump out is completed.
4Once your tub is filled return the drain hose to the drain. This must be done before the machine starts spinning.
5Allow the machine to complete the rest of the cycle. Remove the first wash load and place the second load in the machine.
6To syphon back the suds place the end of the drain hose in the tub, ensure that the end is near the bottom of the tub.
7Advance to SPIN and allow the machine to pump for a few seconds to clear air from the drain hose, then press POWER to turn the machine off.
8The suds water will syphon back into the machine. It will take several minutes to syphon back the water.
9RETURN HOSE TO DRAIN.
10Select second wash cycle.
Note: you will only be able to syphon back into the machine until the water level is equal to that in the tub.

The above method can also be used to recycle the water from a deep rinse. Select SPIN HOLD in place of SOAK.
Note: for any of the above methods, manually select the water level for the second wash load. AUTO water level may fill to a level too high for the clothes load if there is already water in the wash bowl.
