Description of Controls
All the controls on your product’s control panel are listed as follows. The button function is selected when the button is 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.
Power on
Power off
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.
Intensive
This option can only be utilised for cotton programmes. Hoover has designed this special wash boost system for “Large Wash Loads” - by selecting the option, the volume of water within the selected wash cycle and the length of time of the programme are increased to improve the wash performance for the bigger load.
Extra Rinse button
This option adds more water at the rinsing stage. This can help prevent skin irritation from detergent residue for people with particularly sensitive skin. Selecting the Extra Rinse button is also recommended when washing heavily soiled fabrics which needs a lot of detergent, or when the wash load contains towelling fabrics that have a greater tendency to retain detergent.
Time Saver Button
This option can be utilised on cottons and synthetics. By selecting the Time Saver option, the wash time may be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the selected programme, temperature and load, without giving up a good wash quality.
CARESSE
This option is available on synthetics, delicates and the Handwash special programme. When this option is selected for woollens and the Handwash programmes, the machine will stop in the final rinse stage and the load will be held within the water in the drum. This reduces the creasing thus enabling easier ironing. To continue with the wash cycle, press the “CARESSE” button and the programme will restart.
When the option is selected for synthetics the programme is completed by a short, very low spin speed. The laundry may be left in the drum in this condition without the risk of excessive creasing. If a spin cycle is required please select the appropriate spin (see Programme Guide).
