Please note:
It is normal for the programme selector dial to move only from one stage of washing programme to another and not show any movement
An electronic device is controlling the exact movement of the timer.
Note:
The use of
-waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected;
-presence of white powder (zeolites) 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.
-Anionic surfactants used in washing detergent formulae often prove to be difficult to remove from the laundry itself and, even in small quantities, can still cause considerable foam production.
-Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.

The machine makes a different noise when spinning! This is because it has a manifold motor for better performance.
Only a small level of water can be seen in the drum! This is because new machines do not use much water, yet achieve the same standard of washing and rinsing.
