[. . . ] Selecting the Extra 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. Rinse Hold This option is only available on synthetics, acrylics, woolmark and silk programmes. Programme Synthetics Acrylics Rinse Hold 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. Woollens Press the RINSE HOLD button and the The machine will stop in the final rinse stage with the option indicators machine 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 RINSE HOLD 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 40002589. qxd 02/02/2005 11:39 Page 19 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 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. Type of fabric Cottons, linen Load Size 3kg 1. 5kg Drying Time 120 minutes 50 minutes 70 minutes 40 minutes Synthetics and mixed fabrics 2kg 1kg The maximum drying capacity of this machine is 3kg of dry laundry. 19 40002589. qxd 02/02/2005 11:39 Page 20 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. This helps limit vibration, reduce noise and improve the washing machine's reliability and life. 20 40002589. qxd 02/02/2005 11:39 Page 21 Programme Selector 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). Cottons The 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. Synthetics and Acrylics Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation speeds and water levels. The delicate spin action minimises creasing. Delicates This is a new concept in washing, with a cycle that comprises alternate periods of activity and pauses, particularly suitable for washing very delicate fabrics.

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. [. . . ]
