14 USING THE WASHING MACHINE

VARIABLE SPIN:

Load imbalance check during spinning:

This washing machine is ﬁ tted with a special electronic load balancing control system. Before each spin, the system makes sure that the clothes are distributed as uniformly as possible in the drum. If the washing is not distributed uniformly, the ﬁ nal spin speed is reduced for safety reasons, while if the load is drastically out of balance, the spin is not effected.

START BUTTON:

After all the operations described in points 1 to 8 of paragraph “WASH CYCLE” have been carried out, pressing this button will start the wash cycle.

The relative indicator light will light up after approximately 2 -3 seconds to indicate that the door is locked and the wash programme has started.

PROGRAMMER KNOB “STOP”:

The stop function resets the washing machine. If, for any reason, you want to change the wash programme or add more washing to the load during the wash cycle, simply place the programmer knob in position “STOP”. The “START” led will switch off.

Then re-position the knob on the new programme and press the “START” button.

Warning!! Only use this function if strictly necessary and then only if the programme to reset has not been running for more than 3 minutes. Before opening the door after a reset, wait 2 minutes for the locking mechanism to release.

If one of the following buttons is selected, the relative led will light up. If a function button has been pressed by mistake or is no longer required, the option can be cancelled by simply re- pressing the button.

PRE-WASH:

Press this button to obtain a short prewash of maximum temperature 40°C and ap- proximately 10 minutes duration. This function can only be used on the “COTTON”, “SYNTHETICS” and “DAILY” programmes.

N.B.: When this option is used, the detergent must also be added to the appropriate pre-wash compartment.

RINSE OLD:

When this button is pushed, the washing machine will stop automatically at the end of the last rinse cycle and before draining the water. In this case, the washing is held in the water-ﬁ lled drum to prevent creasing. This function only works for the delicate wash cycle.

EXTRA RINSE:

The washing machine has been designed to guarantee reduced water consumption. For sensitive skins, in very soft water areas, or in the case where detergent residues are noticed at the end of the wash cycle, pressing this button will add one more rinse to the wash programme.
