Description of Controls
All the controls on your product’s control panel are listed as follows. The button options are selected when the buttons are pressed in. Carefully read the relevant descriptions detailed below:
On/Off
After selecting the programme press the on/off button to start the machine. At the end of the cycle press again to reset the button and switch off the appliance.
Door button
A special safety device prevents the door from being opened immediately after the end of the cycle. ‘Door locked’ indicator light is illuminated when the door is fully closed. Wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished and the door locked neon has gone off before opening the door. As a safety measure check that there is no water evident in the drum.
Rinse Hold button
This option is available on woollens programmes. When this option is selected the machine will stop and the load will be held within the water in the drum. This reduces the creasing. To continue with the wash cycle the button must be pressed and the programme will restart.
Slow Spin
The machine gradually increases the spin speed from 500 rpm to the maximum possible speed. This button reduces the spin speed to 500 rpm.
Economy button
This option can be utilised on all programmes. By selecting the option the wash temperature is limited to the water inlet temperature. It is particularly suggested in the case of lightly soiled fabrics, and allows you to save 80% of energy compared with the normative at 60%.
Extra Rinse button
This option causes more water to be added at the rinse stage. This is important to avoid skin irritation from detergent residues for people with particularly sensitive skin. Selecting the Extra Rinse button is also recommended when washing heavily soiled fabrics, requiring the use of a lot of detergent, or when the wash load contains items made of towelling whose fabrics have a greater tendency to retain detergent.
