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.
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).
When the option is selected for delicate programmes, the machine stops in the final rinse stage and the load will be held within the water in the drum, thus reduces creasing and enabling easier ironing. Press the “CARESSE” button to continue with the programme. The machine will the pump out the remaining water and the programme will conclude with a low speed spin for approximately 15 seconds. Finally, the programme carries out a brief tumbling action to “loosen” the items in the load.
Time Saver Button
This option can be utilised on cottons and synthetics. By selecting the option, the wash time may be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the programme selected.
90° Whites
This option is to be utilised on programme 1. For whites and linens the temperature can be increased from 60° to 90°. This option is suitable for stained and/or heavily soiled laundry. The length of the programme will be slightly increased when the 90° Whites option is selected.
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.
