INSTaLLaTION INSTRUCTIONS  
If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating  
system) you should fit a Hot ‘N’ Safe Valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature  
remains within safe limits.  
Hot ‘N’ Safe Valves available are:  
RMC TVA 50HF  
RMC TVA 75HFS  
Adjustable between 35°C – 55°C  
RMC TVA 50HP  
For instantaneous gas hot water supply  
Water supply requirements:  
Inlet water pressure: Maximum 1 MPa (150 psi), Minimum 30 kPa (4.5 psi)  
Inlet water flow rate: Minimum 6 litres/minute  
●  
●  
Cold supply only:  
If you only have a cold water supply, the inlet valve cap (blanking cap) which came with  
your washer must be connected to the hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water leaking  
out of the hot valve. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with  
AS3500.1. No further backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply.  
Note: your washer has an internal heater to heat water. If you do not connect a hot  
water inlet hose, your washer will automatically recognise there is no hot water supply  
and its internal heater will heat the cold water to the required cycle temperature.

The digital display screen provides feedback on how long the  
wash cycle has to go. If you have programmed a ‘Delay Start’,  
the time remaining until the cycle will start will be displayed  
here, along with any messages to help you with the overall  
running of your washer (eg user warnings).  
Time to go  
Your washer displays approximately how many minutes the  
cycle you are running has remaining, so that you can tell at a  
glance when your washing will be finished.  
Digital display screen  
Please be aware that a number of factors can influence the  
overall cycle time, eg the water flow rate, water pressure,  
whether hot water is being used from the tap or the water  
is heated by the internal heater, load size, cycle and option  
selections. Therefore cycle times will vary. Unexpected factors  
in a wash cycle (eg out of balance, oversudsing) can lengthen  
the cycle time. The time remaining is constantly updated  
taking these factors into account, which may mean the time  
displayed for the cycle becomes longer than was initially  
estimated.

SORTING aND LOaDING  
When preparing your wash load there are some important things to consider:  
Sorting  
Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics  
separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites,  
especially when they are new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at higher  
temperatures. Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water. Oily  
soils (eg some foods and marks on shirt collars) are best washed in warm water. The  
following are recommendations for what cycles and settings you may wish to wash  
different items on, and suggestions for special wash requirements.

SORTING aND LOaDING  
Before you load  
●  
●  
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.  
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/doona  
covers), and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your washer and your  
clothes.  
Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag before placing in the machine.  
Pre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer as they can  
cause damage to the plastic surfaces.  
●  
●  
Loading  
Your washer will be more efficient when washing larger loads, so try to collect enough  
items to loosely fill the drum when the items are dry.  
ImpORTANT!  
●  
●  
●  
Do not overload your washing machine beyond its rated capacity.  
Please do not under any circumstances wash an electric blanket in your washer.  
Do not wash curtains in this washer, as sunlight makes them brittle and they may  
disintegrate during washing.

DETERGENT aND faBRIC SOfTENER  
Detergent type  
Your washer requires low sudsing detergent to prevent oversudsing problems. Low  
sudsing detergent comes in powder, liquid or pod form and is labelled ‘Front Loading’,  
‘Low Suds’, ‘High Efficiency’ or ‘HE’.  
Using top loading detergent in your front loader washer may lead to excessive suds  
formation, which will lengthen the cycle time as the machine waits for the suds to  
dissolve.  
Where do I put my detergent?  
Powdered or liquid detergent is added to the main wash detergent compartment on  
the left side of the dispensing drawer marked with a ‘2’. As the machine fills, water is  
flushed through this compartment to deliver a detergent solution into the drum.  
Pods – Detergent pods are a ‘no mess’ alternative to powdered or liquid detergent.  
They must be placed at the back of the drum prior to loading your clothes. This will  
ensure they are activated quickly in the wash. Do not place pods in the detergent  
dispenser drawer.  
If you wish to use the ‘Pre Wash’ option, liquid or powdered detergent only must be  
placed in the pre wash detergent compartment on the right side of the drawer, marked  
with a ‘1’. When you select ‘Pre Wash’, the pre wash compartment is flushed at the start  
of the cycle.

●  
If you select the ‘Pre Wash’ you cannot use liquid detergent in the main wash  
detergent compartment. you must use powdered detergent for the main wash.  
Make sure the detergent dispenser draw is completely closed before starting the cycle.  
If using ‘Delay Start’ we recommend you use powdered detergent for the main wash.

DETERGENT aND faBRIC SOfTENER  
How much detergent?  
The correct detergent dosage varies depending on the amount of soil in your load, the  
size of the load and the water quality, so getting the correct dose takes some trial and  
error. Use the instructions stated on the detergent package as a guide, then alter the  
dosage according to the results.  
If you overdose, you will get over foaming issues, but if you under-dose you will get poor  
performance and over time your washer will start to smell as scum builds up inside it.  
Detergent advice  
If your washer smells you are probably not using enough detergent for the soil level  
in your loads. Run a ‘Drum Clean’ cycle and either buy a better quality detergent or  
use a higher dose. If you are using an ‘Eco’ detergent, alternate the use of this with a  
mainstream detergent.  
1
Add the detergent BEFORE starting the cycle, close the dispenser and do not open it  
while the cycle is running.  
If you find foam leaking from your washer, check you are using a low sudsing or front  
loader type detergent and check the quantity you are using against the detergent  
manufacturers recommendation. You may need to reduce the amount you are using.

fabric softener  
Fabric softener is added to the middle compartment of the dispenser marked with a  
The washer will automatically flush the softener during the rinse.  
.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend to:  
Use it sparingly. Measure it carefully and do not use more than 25 mls (1 cap) (some  
thicker varieties may need diluting).  
1
Clean your dispenser regularly.  
2
3
4
Clean your machine regularly using the ‘Drum Clean’ cycle.  
Complete wash cycles at a wash temperature of 40°C or above at regular intervals  
(eg every 5th wash) as washing in cold water increases the chance of scrud occurring  
(see below).  
Note: if you fill beyond the MAX mark, the fabric softener will be dispensed into the  
bowl prematurely and contribute to scrud.  
Scrud  
Scrud is the name of the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when fabric  
softener comes in contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault  
in the machine. If scrud is allowed to build up in the machine it can result in stains on  
clothes and an unpleasant smell in your washer.

If you wash a particularly dirty load, we recommend putting the washer through a

any remnants from that cycle and to prevent contamination of the next loads that are  
washed.

WaSH CyCLE OPTIONS  
All wash cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on the average  
expected load to be washed. You can vary the options (eg ‘Wash Temp’, ‘Spin Speed’)  
to create your desired cycle. Note: some options are not available on some cycles, for  
clothes care reasons, or because the option is not appropriate for the cycle.  
To change a wash option or options you have selected after a cycle has started, touch  
and select your new setting, then touch  
again to resume the cycle with the new  
setting or settings. Note: some options may not be available for selection under certain  
conditions and after particular stages of the cycle have passed.  
Wash Temp  
Your washer offers five wash temperatures:  
Cold  
30°C  
40°C  
60°C  
90°C  
●  
●  
Simply touch the ‘Wash Temp’ button to increase or decrease the wash temperature.  
The washer will fill with both hot and cold water to achieve the selected wash  
temperature. If required the washer will heat the water to the selected temperature.  
Some temperatures are not available on some cycles as a safeguard for your clothes  
(eg 60°C and 90°C on the ‘Handwash’ cycle).  
●  
ImpORTANT!  
When 90°C temperature is selected, the door glass will become hot. Do not touch the  
glass part of the door. Keep children away from the washer.  
Spin Speed  
●  
●  
Your WH7060P or WH8060P model of washer offers four spin speeds: 500 rpm,  
800 rpm, 1100 rpm and 1400 rpm, plus an additional ‘No Spin’ option.  
Your WH7060J or WH8060J model of washer offers three spin speeds: 500 rpm,  
800 rpm, 1200 rpm, plus an additional ‘No Spin’ option.  
Simply increase or decrease the spin speed by touching the ‘Spin Speed’ button.  
Selecting ‘No Spin’ will end the cycle after the rinse, allowing you to remove items you  
wish to drip dry. Note: the washer will complete the default wash and rinse spins for  
the cycle; only the final spin will not be completed. If you have removed the items you  
wish to drip dry and there are items remaining that you would like to proceed to spin,  
●  
●  
press  
and select the ‘Spin’ cycle. If necessary, modify the spin speed to best care for  
your load (ie spin delicate items at 500 rpm for best garment care).  
Soil Level (WH7060P and WH8060P models only)  
The ‘Soil Level’ option lets you adjust the wash to suit the amount of soil in your load.  
For example, select ‘Heavy’ for dirty clothes; for items that are only lightly soiled, select  
‘Light’. This adjusts the wash time accordingly to give the load the right amount of  
agitation to remove the soil.

WaSH CyCLE OPTIONS  
Wash Boost  
Pre Wash  
For extra dirty loads you can perform a ‘Pre Wash’. Your washer will start the wash with  
a short wash in cool water to remove excess soil. After this the machine will drain and  
then fill at the selected temperature for the main wash.  
If you use the ‘Pre Wash’ option, liquid or powdered detergent needs to be placed  
in the correct detergent compartment. The pre wash compartment is on the right  
hand side of the drawer, marked ‘1’. When you select ‘Pre Wash’, the compartment is  
flushed at the start of the cycle. The detergent for the main wash must be a powder,  
and should be placed in the compartment marked ‘2’.  
Simply touch the ‘Wash Boost’ button and select ‘Pre Wash’ when choosing your wash  
options. Note: ‘Pre Wash’ cannot be selected after a wash cycle has been started, ie  
if you touch  
and try to select ‘Pre Wash’ it will be unavailable. ‘Pre Wash’ must be  
selected at the start of the cycle.  
Rinse+  
If you have a particularly dirty load, or you have sensitive skin and wish to give your  
clothes an extra rinse, select ‘Rinse+’ from the ‘Wash Boost’ options. Your load will  
undergo an extra rinse to get rid of any residual detergent or soil in the items.  
Note: ‘Rinse+’ will not be available if the ‘Eco’ option has been selected.  
Options  
Wrinkle Free (WH7060P and WH8060P models only)  
We recommend you remove the clothes from the washer immediately after the  
completion of the cycle to minimise wrinkling and creasing of items and to prevent  
dye run. However, if you will not be present at the end of the wash you can select  
‘Wrinkle Free’.  
When ‘Wrinkle Free’ is selected, the washer will tumble the clothes once every  
15 minutes for up to 12 hours after the cycle has finished. The ‘Wrinkle Free’ light and  
button will flash, and the washer will beep at regular intervals to remind you to  
remove your load. To remove the load during this phase, simply press the  
button.  
Eco  
Use the ‘Eco’ option to save water and energy. Selecting ‘Eco’ will reduce the wash  
temperature slightly and alter the wash time.  
Note: this option will not be available if ‘Pre Wash’ has been selected.  
●  
If you wish to, you can select both the ‘Pre Wash’ and ‘Rinse+’ ‘Wash Boost’ options  
to perform on the same cycle. Likewise, you can select ‘Eco’ and ‘Wrinkle free’ to  
perform on the same cycle. Touch the appropriate button until both options are  
selected. Repeat to deselect an option.  
for clothes care and performance reasons not all options may be available on some  
cycles.

WaSH CyCLE OPTIONS  
add a Garment (WH7060P and WH8060P models only)  
The ‘Add a Garment’ option enables you to add or remove items during the wash stage  
of the cycle, under certain conditions. Once the ‘Add a Garment’ button is touched, the  
button and time to go will flash. Wait until you hear the door unlock. Open the door  
and add or remove items. Close the door and touch  
to restart the cycle. The ‘Add  
a Garment’ button will only operate during the wash part of the cycle and when the  
temperature selected is lower than 60°C. ‘Add a Garment’ can be used when the total  
wash volume has been reached, as your washer will drain the water to a lower level if  
necessary, so the door can be opened.  
Keylock  
This option enables you to deactivate the buttons on the display panel, except for the  
‘Power’ and ‘Keylock’ buttons. This prevents accidental button presses.  
To turn Keylock mode ON or OFF when the washer is powered on:  
Touch and hold the button for 2 seconds.  
●  
Note: when activated, the light above the button is illuminated.  
If Keylock mode is activated and the machine is powered off:  
●  
●  
To turn your washer on, press the  
two seconds. Select your wash cycle, options and then touch  
button, then touch and hold the button for  
to start the cycle.  
To turn the washer off at anytime when keylock is activated simply press the  
button.  
Delay Start  
The ‘Delay Start’ option enables you to delay the start of the wash cycle from between  
5 minutes and 12 hours. Times you can select are 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, then  
hourly up to 12 hours. This can be useful to time your washing to finish when you arrive  
home from work, or to start once you have finished in the shower. Some stain removers  
also require you to spray them on then leave for several minutes, before washing.  
Your washer will wait for the selected time then start without you having to wait or  
remember to start your machine.  
To programme a ‘Delay Start’ time, simply touch the ‘More’  
button to increase the  
delay time and ‘Less’ button to decrease the time or turn ‘Delay Start’ off. Touch  
to confirm your selection and start the countdown. Once started, the time will count  
down on the digital display screen in 1 minute increments, the ‘Delay Start’ light will  
flash and the  
light will stop flashing and turn on solid.  
Note: if you hold the ‘More’  
button down, the time displayed on the screen will increase  
after every half a second (more convenient than touching the button repetitively).  
To remove a ‘Delay Start’ time once it is counting down, simply touch  
, then touch the  
‘Less’ button to decrease the time to zero. Touch to start the cycle immediately.  
Note: we suggest that you avoid using ‘Delay Start’ for damp, non-colourfast items as  
this may cause dye run to occur. We also recommend you use powder detergent when  
you use the ‘Delay Start’ function.

●  
●  
Unplug the machine from the power socket.  
Wipe around the door and in the rubber gasket to remove any remaining water and  
foreign matter.  
●  
Turn off the taps to prevent the chance of flooding should a hose burst.  
Cleaning your washer  
Before you start cleaning your washer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power  
(ie unplug the machine from the power socket).  
Cleaning the control panel and outer surfaces of the washer  
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, then wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or  
scouring cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your washer.  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer  
Wipe out the detergent dispenser drawer with a damp cloth. Clean it regularly,  
especially if you use fabric softener. To remove the drawer, pull it open, push down on  
the blue tab in the fabric softener compartment (labelled ‘PUSH’) and pull out. Rinse it  
out under warm water and replace.  
Cleaning the inside of your washer  
It is important that you regularly clean the inside of your machine using the ‘Drum  
Clean’ cycle. After 100 cycles your washer will flash the  
icon every time you turn your  
washer on to remind you to do this. If your washer starts to smell this is a sign that you  
should complete a ‘Drum Clean’ cycle. We recommend that you do not have any items  
in the washer when you run this cycle.  
Cleaning steps  
Add approximately 2 full scoops of a good quality powdered  
detergent directly into the main wash detergent compartment  
of the dispenser drawer (marked ‘2’) or use a drum cleaning  
product specifically designed for front loading washing  
machines (follow manufacturer’s instructions).

Wipe the rubber ring around the door. Remove any items or lint accumulating in the  
bottom of the ring catchment and wipe out any water accumulated here. If this is not  
cleaned out, unpleasant odours will develop.  
If the drum has any residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe the drum clean.  
Do not leave any metal objects in the drum as these may rust and cause staining.

Cleaning the hoses  
Each hose has a filter in it, preventing any solid contaminants in the water entering your  
washing machine. Occasionally you should unscrew the water inlet hoses where they  
connect to the taps, check these for any build up of dirt and wash this out.  
Nappy sanitisers/bleach  
Nappy sanitisers and bleach are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT tip the  
contents of a nappy bucket into your machine. Rinse and wring items out thoroughly  
before placing them in the machine.  
Moving your washer  
If you need to move your washer a considerable distance (eg moving house), remember  
to replace the transit bolts before moving it. These will protect internal components of  
the washer from damage.  
To replace the transit bolts, pull out the bolt-hole covers in the back of the machine.  
Push the transit bolt rubber grommets and plastic spaces into the hole left and tighten  
it with the spanner provided with the product.  
Make sure any water in the washer is drained out. This can be done by cleaning out the  
pump filter (refer to ‘Caring for your washer’ section ‘Cleaning the pump filter’).  
ImpORTANT!  
Leave the door to your washer open when it is not in use to allow the washer to dry  
out, otherwise it will develop unpleasant odours. When leaving the door open like  
this, it is extremely important that children and pets are kept away from the washer so  
they cannot be accidentally trapped inside it.  
aside from the detergent dispenser, water hoses, and the pump filter, no other parts  
are designed to be removed from the machine for cleaning. Do not attempt to remove  
any other part of the machine.

PROBLEM  
DISPLayED aS  
WHaT TO DO  
Water is not  
getting to the  
machine.  
Check the taps have been turned on.  
If there is no hot water connection the machine will  
heat the water itself, but there must be a cold water  
connection to the cold valve.  
Check the hose connections. If the cold water  
supply is connected to the hot valve and there is no  
connection to the cold valve the machine will not fill.  
Check the inlet hose filters are not blocked, the hoses  
are not kinked and are attached correctly.  
Check that the drain hose is not too low or pushed  
into the standpipe too far. This will cause the water to  
siphon out of the machine.  
Check the cold water temperature does not exceed  
the 35°C temperature requirement.  
Check the water flow rate. It maybe too low.  
Wash load  
is out of  
balance.  
Touch  
to try the spin again.  
If the out of balance persists, pause the cycle,  
manually redistribute the load and touch  
to spin  
again. If necessary, stop the cycle, select ‘Spin’ and  
touch  
.
If the problem persists, check the machine is correctly  
levelled.  
Too many  
suds.  
Machine will stop and flash  
for 10 minutes  
while waiting for suds to dissipate. The machine  
will not beep during this time. After 10 minutes the  
machine will automatically restart. At any point during  
that 10 minutes you can touch  
to restart the  
machine, but it is recommended that the machine be  
left to restart automatically.  
Check you are using a suitable detergent.  
Check you are not overdosing the detergent.  
Check the standpipe height for the drain does not  
exceed 1200 mm.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Solving wash problems  
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CaUSES  
WHaT TO DO  
Creasing.  
Washer overloaded.  
Do not overload washer.  
Incorrect cycle for load  
type.  
Use the ‘Easy Iron’ or ‘Handwash’ cycle  
for creasable items.  
Spin speed too fast.  
Select a slower spin speed.  
Wet clothes left in  
washer or laundry basket.  
Laundry left sitting wet is more likely  
to crease. If not removing clothes  
from washer immediately at end of  
cycle, select the ‘Wrinkle Free’ option  
(WH7060P and WH8060P models  
only). Do not leave wet washing sitting  
in a washing basket.  
Wash temperature too  
hot for load type.  
Select a lower wash temperature. Check  
items care label for correct care.  
Items not sorted  
correctly.  
Sort load so that items of similar weight  
are washed together (refer to page 20).  
Poor soil  
Removal.  
Incorrect wash cycle  
selected.  
Select a wash cycle that is appropriate  
for the amount of dirt (refer to pages  
24 and 25).  
Insufficient detergent.  
Washer overloaded.  
Ensure the correct dose of detergent  
is used for the load size and soil level  
(refer to page 23).  
Ensure the washer is not overloaded  
in terms of its capacity or the cycle  
selected (refer to pages 24 and 25).  
Items require a longer  
wash time.  
Select a higher soil level option if  
available (WH7060P and WH8060P  
models only).  
Load was particularly  
dirty.  
Select ‘Pre Wash’ for particularly dirty  
loads (refer to page 27).  
Items not sorted  
correctly.  
Wash heavily and lightly soiled  
garments separately.  
Washer dirty from  
previous wash.  
After washing particularly dirty clothing,  
we recommend putting the washer  
through a ‘Rinse’ cycle after the load  
has been removed, to wash away any  
remnants of dirt and to prevent it  
contaminating future washes.  
Incorrect wash  
temperature selected in  
relation to the type of  
soil.  
Select a wash temperature suitable for  
the type of soil, eg warm for greasy soils,  
cold for muddy soils. Increasing the wash  
temperature generally improves soil  
removal and overall wash performance.
