Automatic Features

Auto half load

Auto half load saves you time and money when washing smaller loads. Water levels are automatically adjusted to cater for the different loads.

Unbalanced load warning

Your machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load. This will minimise excessive vibration and prolong the life of the machine.

Before each spin the machine ‘senses’ the load within the drum and if the machine considers the load to be unbalanced, it will not automatically spin. Instead the machine will try to redistribute the load to achieve balance by tumbling backwards and forwards. If it is unable to balance the load after the sixth attempt the machine will abort the spin process.

If this safety feature is encountered you can spin the load, after first opening the door, redistributing the load and reselecting a fast or slow spin programme. In the case of small loads or single items you may try adding some extra items of a comparable size to help balance the load.
