Automatic Features
Automatic Variable Capacity (Half Load)
The washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level
system. This system enables the machine to use the optimum
amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in
relation to the particular load. This results in a reduction of the
water and electricity used without in any way compromising
the washing and rinsing performance. The amount of water
and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes
load.
The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing
results at minimum cost whilst respecting the environment.
Out of Balance protection
This model is fitted with an electronic sensor device that
checks if the load is balanced correctly. If the load is slightly
unbalanced the machine will re-balance it automatically to
then carry out the normal spin.
If, after several attempts, balance is not restored a reduced
spin speed will be used.
If loads are seriously unbalanced the spin stage will be
cancelled. This helps limit vibration, reduce noise and improve
the washing machine's reliability and life.
For handling the various types of fabric and their level of
soiling in your laundry the washing machine has different
programme groups according to type of wash, temperature,
spin speeds and duration (see Programme Guide).
Cotton and Coloureds
The Cottons programmes are designed for maximum washing
and rinsing. With spin cycles in between, they guarantee the
laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry
is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed.
The Cotton programme includes a Prewash cycle. This option is
particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used
independently of the main wash programme. Detergent for
this programme should be added to the first compartment of
the soap drawer labelled "I" (please refer to the section of this
manual entitled “The Dispenser”). We recommend you use
only 20% of the quantity used for the main wash programme.
Synthetics
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum
rotation speeds and water levels for synthetics and mixed
fabrics. The programme will default to 60°C. The delicate spin
action minimises creasing. The final spin speed for the
synthetics programme is 800rpm
