Programmable functions

Warning - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY IN- STRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

The following additional functions can be programmed into the machine if de- sired:

AHigh water level (only in “Cottons” rinses)

Where rinse results are particularly im- portant (e.g. Soap allergies).

B5th Rinse in the “Cottons” program

For soft water areas (up to 135 ppm calcium carbonate).

In soft water areas, a higher water level can be selected in addition to a 5th rinse cycle, if required.

CExtra water intake through compartment i

A 10 second water intake through com- partment i during the main wash can be added.

DProgram Lock

(Child Safety Feature)

When activated, the washing machine will ignore any changes made after the first three minutes of operation. For ex- ample, if the Program Selector is moved to a different setting or an addi- tional function is selected after the first three minutes, the “On” lamp will flash, notifying you that the Child Safety Fea- ture has been activated. The program will, however, continue uninterrupted. This prevents children from inadver- tently changing or stopping a wash pro- gram by playing with the dials.

If the Program Selector is turned to its original position, the “On” lamp will stop flashing.

To change a program once the Program Lock is activated:

^Turn the Program Selector to “Finish/Start”.

After about 30 seconds, the sequence indicator lamps will start flashing in suc- cession. A new program can be se- lected as soon as the “On” lamp is the only one remaining lit.

EAdditional rinse in Rapid wash

For soft water areas.

For an extra thorough rinse.

The functions described above can be programmed by the owner using the steps shown on the following pages.
