The light on each option button will come on if that option has been selected. Delay Start This option is available to delay the start of the wash cycle by up to 9 hours. The selection of the time is completed by pressing the Delay Start button, the countdown display will indicate the time selected. When the correct delay is selected press the Start Pause button to start the cycle. Time Saver This option can be used on the Cottons and Synthetics programmes. By selecting the Time Saver option, the wash time can be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the selected programme, temperature and load, without affecting the quality of the wash. Stain Blaster By pressing this button, which can only be activated in the Cotton cycles, the sensors in the new Activa system come into operation. They affect both the selected temperature, keeping it at a constant level throughout the wash cycle, and the mechanical function of the drum. When the detergent enters the garments, the drum rotates in such a way that the detergent is distributed in a uniform manner. However, during the wash and rinse procedures, the speed increases in order to maximise the cleaning action. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed. 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. AA 40 This special programme has been created to allow you to obtain the best washing performance with a full load, as the 60°C Colourfast, but with the advantage of the cycle being at 40°C. This gives energy savings by reducing the temperature from 60°C to 40°C. The final spin speed is 1000rpm. Synthetics and mixed fabrics Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation speeds and water levels. The final spin speed for the synthetics programme is 800rpm and for the Acrylics 400rpm. Delicates This is a new concept in washing, with a cycle that consists of alternate periods of activity and pauses, particularly suitable for washing very delicate fabrics. Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results. Rinse, Spin and Drain Individual programmes are available for rinsing, (including the opportunity to add fabric conditioner); spinning, at the maximum spin speed or less if selected using the Spin Speed Selector; and draining the water from the machine. Special Programmes Woolmark This is a programme dedicated to washing fabrics labelled with the woolmark symbol . Washing and rinsing are carried 20 40002518. qxd 11/01/2005 18:15 Page 21 out using a high water level to provide the best results. The programme has a maximum temperature of 30°C and concludes with 3 rinses, one for fabric conditioner, and a short spin at 800rpm. Silk This washing machine also has a gentle Silk and Hand Wash programme. This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as "Hand Wash only" and laundry items made from silk or specified "Wash as silk" on the fabric label. [. . . ] Check the drawer is not clogged with detergent (see Cleaning and routine maintenance) Steam is coming from the dispenser. The machine is designed to vent through the drawer, this is nothing to worry about. Remember, you may be charged for the service call if incorrect installation or misuse causes a problem with your machine. Note: The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents (check detergent information on pack) can have the following effects: Waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of a white powder (zeolites) held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected. Presence of white powder on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric. The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing. [. . . ]
