ABC washing guide
D
Damp Items | A simple spin only cycle is handy for spinning out damp items before |
| drying. Advance cycle to SPIN using the ADVANCE button. |
Delicates | For clothing that requires a more gentle approach choose the |
| DELICATE cycle. |
Dishcloths | To ensure that bacteria is removed from items such as dishcloths we |
| would recommend that you wash these items on the HOT, REGULAR, |
| HIGH EFFICIENCY cycle. Dry these items either in direct sunlight or on the |
| hottest setting in the dryer that the fabric will handle. |
Duvet/Doona Inners | Its important to check the care labels on these items. Some feather |
| duvets are not machine washable. We do not recommend washing any |
| duvet/doonas labelled ‘Dry clean only’ in this machine. For those that are |
| machine washable choose BULKY cycle. |
Duvet/Doona Covers | Choose the SHEETS cycle. |
E
Electric Blanket | Please do not, under any circumstances, attempt to wash an electric |
| blanket in your AquaSmart™ washer. |
F
Footy Gear | For muddy or grassy sports gear, select HEAVY cycle and turn High |
| Efficiency OFF to give a generous wash to dilute and remove mud. |
| These types of soils are most effectively removed with cold water, so adjust |
| the temperature to COLD. Remember warmer wash temperature can set |
| mud and grass stains, so if in doubt always start with a cold wash first. |
| For sweaty items, follow with a WARM/HOT wash. |
Feather Duvet/ | Ensure that your feather duvet/doona is machine washable. Choose |
Doona | BULKY cycle. |
H
Hand Washed Items To finish off garments that have been hand washed in the sink or tub, try the
| DELICATE cycle and advance to the Rinse and Spin stage of the cycle. |
Hats | Check before washing to ensure that your hat is fabric only and does not |
| contain any other stiffening material that may not suit being immersed in |
| water. Choose a COLD, DELICATE cycle. |
Hygiene | When someone in your home has a infection or illness. Choose a HOT, |
| REGULAR, HIGH EFFICIENCY cycle. This cycle is unsuitable for non- |
| colourfast or heat sensitive items. For soiled sheets we recommend |
| selecting SHEETS and adjusting the wash temperature to Hot. |
