[. . . ] Instruction Book Hoover Special Edition ® Contents Introduction . 27 2 Introduction Please read and follow these instructions carefully and operate the machine accordingly. This booklet provides important guidelines for safe use, installation, maintenance and some useful advice for best results when using your machine. Keep all documentation in a safe place for future reference or for any future owners. Check that no damage has occurred to the machine during transit. [. . . ] This can help prevent skin irritation from detergent residue that affects people with particularly sensitive skin. Selecting the Super 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. 14 Fast Wash Button This option can be used on cottons and synthetics. By selecting the Fast Was option, the wash time may be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the selected programme, temperature and load, without affecting the quality of the wash. Creaseguard This option is available on the Delicates and Woollens programmes (8, 9 and 10). The machine will stop in the final rinse stage and the load will be held in the water in the drum. This reduces the potential for creasing, thus enabling easier ironing. The machine will then pump out the water and the programme will conclude with a spin cycle at 800rpm. 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. 15 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 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. Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results. Rinse and Spin Individual programmes are available for rinsing, (including the opportunity to add fabric conditioner) and spinning, where you can select either a fast spin for Cottons or a slow spin for Synthetics and Delicates. Woollens A programme dedicated to washing fabrics labelled with the woolmark symbol . Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results. The programme has a maximum temperature of 40°C and concludes with 3 rinses, one for fabric conditioner, and a short spin. Quick Programme 32 Minute Wash 50°C This programme allows a complete washing cycle to be carried out in 32 minutes. We recommended you use this only for lightly soiled items and it is designed for a maximum load of 2kg. When selecting the 32 minute wash programme we also recommend you use only 20% of the detergent quantities advised on the pack. [. . . ] Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases. 24 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 On/Off switch and the mains power supply. [. . . ]
