Wash cycles and options 17 US CA Wash options When you press POWER to turn on your Ecosmart™, it will automatically select a: ■■ REGULAR wash cycle ■■ WARM wash temperature ■■ AUTO water level ■■ FAST spin speed Each of these wash options can be altered to suit your wash needs. The following pages explain each of the wash options and how to use them. In the following diagrams: ( ) = light is on ( ) = light is off Note: two lights are used to indicate warm/hot and warm/cold wash temperatures. Fig.18 Selecting wash option To select wash options 1 Select wash cycle. 2 Use the up or down arrows, or the options button, to select the wash options you want to use. 3 Press START/PAUSE. Softener/Bleach rinse Use the SOFTENER/BLEACH RINSE option: ■■ If you use liquid fabric softener. ■■ If you use bleach. This option changes the rinse to include a spray and deep rinse, so that the fabric softener/bleach will be dispensed correctly, and the machine sump will be thoroughly cleaned of bleach at the end of the cycle. Note: we recommend the use of softener dryer sheets because liquid fabric softener has been known to cause an unpleasant build-up inside washing machines (refer to 'Scrud' page 23). In addition, some wash loads are better washed using a cycle with a deep rinse. For instance, garments that have a lot of sand or sawdust in them, or garments where the color still runs. For these loads select the SOFTENER/BLEACH RINSE option, as this will change the rinse to include a deep rinse. Fig.19 Selecting the SOFTENER/ BLEACH RINSE option Soak When you select SOAK your Ecosmart™ will stop at the end of wash and soak for 2 hours before completing the rinse and spin. During soak your washer will agitate for a few seconds every minute. Fig.20 Selecting the SOAK option
