Call 08705 400 600 Delivery information Please check that the following items are delivered with the appliance: Instruction manual Guarantee card Blanking plug Inlet hose & bracket Base panel & x2 push clips Energy Label PLEASE NOTE This machine only requires a cold water supply Do's All packaging materials used are environmentally-friendly and recyclable. [. . . ] The water consumption is reduced by up to 55%, the energy consumption is cut by up to 60% and the time needed is reduced. Pure Rinse This option is available on the cottons programmes. The option increases the number of rinses to five (including the final conditioned rinse). This can help prevent skin irritation from detergent residue for people with particularly sensitive skin. Selecting the Pure Rinse button is also recommended when washing heavily soiled fabrics which need a lot of detergent, or when the wash load contains towelling fabrics that have a greater tendency to retain detergent. Fast Iron This option only is available on synthetics, acrylics, woolmark and silk programmes. Programme Synthetics Fast Iron Function Programme is completed by a short, very low spin speed. The machine stops in the final rinse stage with the option indicators blinking and the load will be held within the water in the drum, thus reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing. Action to complete the cycle If a spin cycle is required please select the appropriate spin (see Programme Guide). The machine will then pump out the remaining water and the programme will conclude with a short spin. Finally, the programme carries out a brief tumbling action to loosen the items in the load. Acrylics Woollens Press the FAST IRON button and the machine The machine will stop in the final rinse stage with the option indicators will pump out the water and complete the cycle with a short spin cycle. The machine will stop in the final rinse stage with the option indicators blinking and the load will be held within the water in the drum. Press the FAST IRON button and the machine will pump out the water to complete the cycle. The clothes load will not be spun and will therefore be very wet. Silk 18 Temperature Selector The washing machine is equipped with a Temperature Selector knob to set the temperature you require. Bigger energy savings can be achieved by using the lower temperature settings around the dial between and 40°C. By selecting the position, the wash temperature is limited to the water inlet temperature, thus reducing energy consumption further. We recommend that the temperature shown on wash care garments should never be exceeded. In the case where the temperature has been accidentally set higher than that of the chosen programme, (see Programme Guide table), the machine will lower the temperature automatically to protect the fabrics. Spin Speed Selector (this feature is only available on certain machines) By adjusting the control knob it is possible to reduce the maximum spin speed of your selected programme to suit your needs and to help reduce any creasing of fabrics. Turn the spin speed selector knob until the indicator aligns with the required spin speed. The maximum spin speed will vary depending on the specification of the machine. 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. [. . . ] When the power is restored, the wash programme and functions will re-start from the same point and complete the programme. During a power failure the water can be drained and the load can be removed from the machine as follows: 1. Switch off the machine both via the programme knob and the mains power supply. Please follow the safety precautions which we recommend under the Safety Notes section of this manual. [. . . ]
