Start button

‘OFF’ position Programme selector dial

On-Off / Selecting a programme...

The machine is switched on, by turning the programme selector dial away from the ‘OFF’ position to your selected programme. To start the programme press and release the ‘Start’ button.

NOTE: When the programme has finished, return the programme selector dial to the ‘OFF’ position.

To change a programme...

If you want to change a programme, turn the programme selector dial to ‘M’ (Stop/Change Programme) and press the ‘Start’ button.

As you turn the programme selector dial the ‘Run’ light will flash. The flashing stops and the ‘Run’ light will go out when you press the ‘Start’ button. The ‘End’ light will then flash as the machine pumps out the water in the drum to a safe level. When completed, the ‘End’ light stops flashing and you can then change the programme (you may need to add detergent). Press the ‘Start’ button to continue.

To stop a programme...

To stop a programme, turn the programme selector dial to ‘M’ (Stop/Change Programme) and press the ‘Start’ button. As you turn

the programme selector dial the ‘Run’ light will flash. The flashing stops and the ‘Run’ light will go out when you press the ‘Start’ button. The ‘End’ light will then flash as the machine pumps out the water in the drum to a safe level. When the ‘End’ light stops flashing and the ‘Door Locked’ indicator light goes out, you can open the door.

CAUTION: The load and the remaining water in the drum may still be extremely hot.

NOTE:

If you turn the programme selector dial during a programme, the ‘Run’ indicator light will flash to show that the programme running is not that shown on the dial. Turn the dial to the original programme to stop the flashing.

The flashing will automatically stop when the programme enters the rinse phase.

●This is not available with programmes A, H and L or Spin only programmes.

Variable Spin Speed

●Only available on model W220VW.

Use this control to reduce the programme spin speed only.

If you leave this dial in the maximum position, the spin speed will be the maximum which is appropriate for whatever wash programme you have chosen.

When the programme has finished, return the dial to the original setting.

Note: You cannot alter the spin speed while the machine is spinning.

Automatic Features...

Unbalanced load warning

Your machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load. This will minimise excessive vibration and prolong the life of the machine. Before each spin the machine ‘senses’ the load within the drum and if the machine considers the load to be unbalanced, it will not automatically spin. Instead the machine will try to redistribute the load to achieve balance by

tumbling backwards and forwards. If it is unable to balance the load after the fifth attempt the machine will abort the spin process and the load will still be wet at the end of the programme.

If this safety feature is encountered you can spin the load after first opening the door, redistributing the load and selecting a fast or slow, spin only programme. In the case of small loads or single items you may try adding some extra items of a comparable size to help balance the load.
