[. . . ] 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 is only 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. Drying Time Selector For tumble drying select the appropriate drying programme via the Programme Selector. For drying cotton fabrics select the High Dry option and for synthetic fabrics select the Low Dry option. Turn the drying time selector until the indicator aligns with the desired time. Note: If the drying time is selected before the wash cycle is completed the machine will automatically commence the drying programme. Refer to the Programme Guide to identify which drying programme will be automatically selected after the wash programme. To protect your laundry certain programmes (eg Silk) cannot be followed automatically by a drying programme. The drying time can be reduced at any time during the cycle but cannot be increased. Drying Time Guide Spin Speed Type of fabric Cottons, linen Load Size 4kg 2kg Synthetics and mixed fabrics 2kg 1kg The times given above are indicative and will vary with the exact level of dryness required (eg for ironing or ready to hang) and the size and composition of the load. 1200/1300 rpm 190 minutes 80 minutes 70 minutes 50 minutes 1500/1600 rpm 170 minutes 70 minutes 60 minutes 40 minutes Only a maximum of 4kg of dry laundry can be loaded. 19 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. [. . . ] 29 Power Failure If there is a power failure the wash cycle will be interrupted, and the wash programme and functions will be suspended. 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. [. . . ]
