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

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 selecting a fast or slow, spin only 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.

STEP 8 Troubleshooting - More ‘Troubleshooting information and general product advice can be found on our website, visit: www.theservicecentre.co.uk/help

Washcare Tips:

●Do not overload the machine (maximum load 6kg).

In addition to reducing the quality of the wash, this may also damage your laundry and the machine.

●We strongly recommend that you do not wash underwired bras in this machine. Should the wires become detached it could cause damage to your clothes and the machine. If the washcare label states that the bra is machine washable, then we advise placing it in a sealed pillow case or a similar washbag. Remember, you will be charged for a service call resulting from a detached bra wire.

●Do not use the machine if the item to be washed does not have a wash label.

Before washing laundry we recommend that you do the following:

●Pre-treat awkward stains with washable treatments.

Do not wash any items that have previously been treated with solvents.

●Close zips, fasten belts, tie strings and close press studs to prevent tangling.

●Empty ALL objects from pockets as they may damage the clothes and the machine.

Remember, you will be charged for a service call to rectify a malfunction resulting from objects, such as coins, pens, hair grips etc. falling from pockets.

●Limit the size of absorbent loads ie. towels, to 3kg (7lb) to give good washing and rinsing results.

●Place small items in a wash bag.

●Always follow the care label on items when choosing the wash programme.

●Wash non-colourfast items or really dirty laundry separately as they may affect other items.
