The BULKY cycle takes special care of bulky items. Bulky garments and bedding wash most effectively when they can move freely. Ensure that there is sufficient room in the bowl for the load to move during the wash.

When washing a single bulky item add a large beach towel to the wash, to ensure the load is balanced for an effective spin.

We recommend that you do not wash woollen duvet / doona inners, or any other item marked “dry clean only” in your CleanSmart^TM washer.

Cleaning the inside of your washer regularly is important. Your washer will remind you to complete a BOWL CLEAN cycle every 100 cycles (the BOWL CLEAN cycle icon will flash to alert you) or we recommend you complete this cycle 5 – 6 times a year (refer to 'Caring for your washer').
