Wash Cycles and Options EN Washing Bulky Items Make sure there is enough room in the machine for items to move when being washed. Forcing large items into the machine may result in them being damaged during washing. Some items float up during the wash (eg comforters and pillows). If they sit too high they may touch stationary parts of the machine during agitate or spin. To minimize the chance of this happening, bulky items should be pushed down below the water level after fill and pushed to sit below the medium high water level mark on the agitator before spinning. Select the correct water level manually. Select a slow spin. To prevent an out of balance load we recommend washing these items on the Delicate cycle. If you wish to re-spin the load at a faster speed make sure the load is sitting below the medium high mark before spinning. Bulky items should sit below the medium high water level mark. Washing Woollens The Wool cycle has been designed for products carrying a MACHINE WASHABLE care claim. The fibers of these woollens have been treated to prevent felting when they are machine washed. Most handknitted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend that you hand wash them. Check the care label. Use a wool detergent Use the WOOL WASHABLES cycle. Hand washed woollens may be spun in your Ecosmart. To dry woollens lay them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry out of direct sunlight. Some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing machine but may produce excessive amounts of lint that may cause pump blockages. Cold Water Washing If you always use cold water, we recommend that you run a warm Permanent Press wash at regular intervals, eg every 5th wash. 23
