Automatic Features

KG Mode (Half Load)

Available on the Cottons and Synthetics cycles, the intelligent sensor adjusts the water level and programme length throughout each phase of the cycle according to how much laundry you load into the machine. The KG Mode indicator will light up when the intelligent sensor is weighing the laundry.

The washing machine is fitted with a self-adjusting water level system. This system enables the machine to use the optimum amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load. This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance. The amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes load size.

The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost whilst respecting the environment.

Out of Balance protection

This model is fitted with an electronic sensor device that checks if the load is balanced correctly. If the load is slightly unbalanced the machine will re-balance it automatically and then carry out the normal spin. If, after several attempts, balance is not restored a reduced spin speed will be used. If loads are seriously unbalanced the spin stage will be cancelled. This helps limit vibration, reduce noise and improve the washing machine's reliability and life.

Programme Descriptions

For handling the various types of fabric and their level of dirtiness in your laundry the washing machine has different programme groups according to type of wash, temperature, spin speed and duration (see Programme Guide).

Once the programme is selected, the intelligent sensor will weigh the laundry using the KG Mode and adjust the critical elements of the wash cycle depending on the weight of the laundry to ensure perfect results (available on Cotton and Synthetic cycle). The KG Mode is activated during the first 4 minutes of the cycle, which enables the machine to:

●adjust the amount of water required;

●determine the length of the wash cycle;

●control rinsing according to the fabric type selected;

●recognises if too much lather is present, adjusting the water level during rinsing if necessary;

●adjusts the spin speed according to the load, avoiding any imbalance

Cotton with Pre Wash

The Cotton programme is designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency. With spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed.

The Cotton programme includes a Prewash cycle. This option is particularly useful for really dirty loads and can be used independently of the main wash programme. Additional detergent for the Prewash part of the programme should be added to the first compartment of the soap drawer labelled "1" (please refer to the section of this manual entitled “Detergent”). We recommend you use only 20% of the quantity used for the main wash programme.

Coloureds

This programme is also designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency. With spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed. This cycle is set to 40°C, but the temperature may be altered using the Temperature option button.

“A” Wash 59'

This specially designed programme maintains the high quality wash performance identified with the “A” rating whilst greatly reducing the wash time. The progrramme is designed for a maximum load of 3 kg with a temperature of 60°C and concludes with 2 rinses and a high speed spin sequence.

Synthetics

Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through using drum rotation speeds and water levels suitable for synthetics and mixed fabrics. The programme will default to 40°C, but the temperature may be altered using the Temperature option button. The delicate spin action minimises creasing. The final spin speed for the synthetics programme is 800rpm
