Wash Programme Phases and Power Cuts

Wash Programme Phases and Power Cuts

Programme Phases

•When the programme is running, the programme phase and the time remaining will appear on the display (Figure 30).

•The active phases will appear successively at the top of the display as the programme progresses (Figure 30). The time remaining until the end of the programme will also appear on the display. It updates at regular intervals, but not minute by minute.

•Any option button can be selected provided the wash phase in which it takes effect has not been passed and when the programme accepts the option.

•Pressing the time delay button during washing will have no effect on the wash programme.

•Pressing the Start/Pause button during the wash activates the PAUSE function.

If the programme is changed on the selector dial during the washing and drying process, the washer will go onto PAUSE status and the programme will be cancelled.

If you need to add or remove a garment, press the Start/Stop button and make sure that the water level is not above the door overflow level and that the temperature inside is not high. Press the Start/Stop button again to restart the wash from the same cycle phase it had stopped at.

Power Cuts

•If there is a power cut, when the electricity comes back on the washing machine will continue to run from where it left off (it has several hours of memory).

Warnings and Advice

•Try to wash clothes of different sizes in the same wash programme to favour the distribution of the clothes inside the drum during spin-drying.

•All the models have a safety system for spin-drying that prevents spin drying from being carried out if the distribution of the clothes inside the drum is too concentrated. This prevents the appliance from vibrating too much.

•If you find that the clothes are not properly wrung out, try spin-drying them again after having distributed the clothes more evenly in the drum.
