User manual HOTPOINT-ARISTON HB7820

[. . . ] If you pass the machine onto someone else, please make sure that you give them this manual so that the new owner can read these safety warnings. q Dispose of packaging materials carefully and keep them well away from children. q When disposing of your old machine, to minimise risk of injury to children, isolate from the electrical supply, remove the door, the plug and cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose of them separately to make sure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket. q Before using your machine remove the transit bolts and spacers from the back of the machine. [. . . ] These will initially appear dimmed when you choose a programme and each light will become brighter when that stage of the wash cycle is running. q q q Door Locked Indicator. . . `Red Keyhole' symbol The `Red Keyhole' symbol will illuminate 2 seconds after you have pressed the `Start' button and will remain lit q throughout the wash programme. The `Red Keyhole' symbol will be flashing at the end of the programme to indicate that the door is still locked. When the symbol stops flashing you will hear a bleep and the door can then be opened. Door not closed If the `Red Keyhole' symbol is flashing at the beginning of the wash programme, the door has not been closed properly and the programme will not start. Ensure that the door is closed properly by pushing it until you hear the catch click. WARNINGS: Do not try to open the door during the wash programme. Do not allow children to play with the machine or tamper with the controls. If you cancel a programme part way through a wash or there is a power cut, take care when opening the door. This machine has a Child Lock feature, which when activated disables all controls (see `Options'). 15 PROGRAMMES AND OPTIONS Wash programmes To select a programme to suit your individual requirements use the following series of tables, explaining the wash programme buttons and programme details. For each wash programme and option(s) selected the machine automatically calculates the estimated programme length `Time to End'. This is displayed in hours and minutes shortly after the wash programme temperature has been displayed. The `Time to End' will then remain lit throughout the wash programme and counts down to the end of the programme. The programme start can be delayed for a maximum of 20 hours To use this feature select the wash programme and any options you require and then press the `Time Delay' button once. Repeated pressing of the `Time Delay' button will increase the delayed start time in 1 hour increments up to 20 hours maximum and will scroll back to 0 hours. Once you have selected the appropriate time delay press the `Start' button. The display window will briefly show the temperature and time of the selected programme and then the set time delay. The words `Time Delay' will continually flash in the display window and the time will count down in hours until the end of the Time Delay. Then the `Time to End' will be displayed and the programme will start. 19 PROGRAMMES AND OPTIONS Options Option buttons Any of the following optional wash features can be selected after the wash programme selection, with the exception of `Fast Forward', which can only be activated after the wash programme has started. To choose an optional wash feature, press the option button once or in some cases scroll through the options given in the display window. How Dirty q This option allows the washing machine to take into account how dirty the washing is. You can select `Normal', `Heavy' or `Light' load soil level and the selected wash programme is modified accordingly. This option is set automatically to `Normal' soiling which will be displayed adjacent to the `How Dirty' button. [. . . ] q This means that there has been an unbalanced load and the machine could not spin. See `Unbalanced Load Warning' in the PROGRAMMES & OPTIONS section. q We have designed the machine to release steam from the dispenser drawer during hot washes, so don't worry. q If you have used the wrong type of detergent, flush out your machine by choosing a rinse programme.
