By selecting the Economy option the wash temperature is limited to the water inlet temperature thus reducing energy consumption. Time Saver This option can be utilised on cottons and synthetics. By selecting the Time Saver option, the wash time may be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the selected programme, temperature and load, without giving up a good wash quality. Extra 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 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. Washing and rinsing are carried 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. Rinse, Spin and Drain Individual programmes are available for rinsing, (including the opportunity to add fabric conditioner), spinning, at 800rpm or maximum spin speed, and draining the water from the machine. Special Programmes Drying Note: Dispensers used for concentrated powders and liquid detergents must be removed from the drum before commencing the tumble drying programmes. The drum changes direction during the drying cycle to prevent the laundry from tangling and hence produce even drying. Cool air is used during the last ten minutes of the drying cycle to minimise creasing. High Dry High temperature drying programme for Cottons and linen items, always refer to the care label Low Dry Low temperature drying programme for synthetics and mixed fibres, always refer to the care label. 21 40002589. qxd 02/02/2005 11:39 Page 22 Time Saving System AA wash 59' This specially designed programme maintains the high quality wash performance identified with the "A" rating whilst greatly reducing the wash time.

[. . . ] Refer to the laundry care label for guidance. 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. Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases. [. . . ]
