Damp Items The SPIN ONLY cycle is handy for spinning out damp items before drying.
Choose SPIN ONLY.
Delicates For clothing that requires a more gentle approach select the DELICATE
CYCLE, and for extra special items try HANDWASH. Choose LIFESTYLE,
SPECIAL CARE, then HANDWASH.
Dishcloths To ensure that bacteria is removed from items such as dishcloths we would
recommend that you wash these items on the HYGIENE cycle. Dry these
items either in direct sunlight or on the hottest setting in the dryer that
the fabric will handle. Choose LIFESTYLE, FAMILY, then HYGIENE cycle.
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. Choose BULKY cycle,
DUVET and then the type of duvet.
Duvet/Doona Covers Choose the SHEETS cycle.

Electric Blanket Please do not, under any circumstances, attempt to wash an electric
blanket in your AquaSmart™ washer.
F
Footy Gear Your AquaSmart™ has a MUDDY cycle especially designed for Footy gear.
Choose LIFESTYLE, SPORTS, then MUDDY. This gives a generous cold
wash to dilute and remove mud. If your Footy gear is not muddy, just use
the HEAVY DUTY cycle.
Feather Duvet/
Doona
Ensure that your feather duvet/doona is machine washable. Choose
BULKY, DUVET/DOONA, FEATHER.
H
Handwash For those extra special items that need a gentle touch try the HANDWASH
cycle. This is our most gentle cycle yet. Choose LIFESTYLE cycles, SPECIAL
CARE, HANDWASH.
Hand Washed Items To finish off garments that have been hand washed in the sink or tub, try the
RINSE AND SPIN cycle, and select a SLOW spin. Choose RINSE AND SPIN.
Hats To wash fabric hats, select SPORT SHOES. 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 LIFESTYLE,
SPORT SHOES.
Hygiene Make use of the HYGIENE cycle when someone in your home has a
infection or illness. Choose LIFESTYLE, FAMILY, then HYGIENE. 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.
