Getting started quickly — WashSmart washer

Failure to follow the advice in this guide may result in damage to your garments, and your expectations of wash performance may not be met.

Before you start

  • It is important to sort your clothes, particularly separating white/light colours from dark colours, as well as separating out sheets and towels (refer to ‘Sorting and Loading’).
  • Wash new, highly coloured and dark coloured items separately to prevent dye transfer onto other items.
  • Sort lint givers and lint collectors (refer to the ‘Sorting’).
  • Close bra clasps, do up zippers and check pockets.
  • Place your clothes directly into the wash bowl.
  • Place the load evenly around the agitator (refer to ‘Sorting and Loading’).
  • Remove fabric softener dispenser cup.

Detergent

  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the detergent package.
  • Use the size of the load as a guide to the amount of detergent to use (refer to the ‘Detergent’ section).
  • Pour the detergent down the centre of the agitator stem.
  • Replace the fabric softener dispenser cup (this stops small articles falling down the centre of the agitator).
