Programme duration When the programme has been selected, the expected
programme duration(time after which the programme is
expected to end) is displayed.
The programme duration is displayed in hours and
minutes, e.g.
01:17 1 hour and 17 minutes
00:35 35 minutes.
When the programme has started, the colon : flashes be-
tween hours and minutes and the programme duration
counts down in minutes.
When the programme ends, the displays shows
(if select no final spin function, see page27).
While the programme is running,the programme duration
may be extended or reduced for the following reasons.
Reductions in time occur because of :
small loads,
reduced heating times,e.g. If the water is very hot.
Increases in time occur because of:
additional rinse cycle if excessive foam is in the laun-
dry,
multiple spinning if the laundry is distributed poorly
in the drum,
increased heating times,e.g. When the water is
too cold,
water pressure too low,
selection of an additional option,e.g. Intensive Stains
function after the programme has started.
Very absorbent washing extends the heating duration.
You can delay the start time,see page 24
Start time
You can set the drying duration.
When the washing and drying without a break was
selected, drying duration will add in programme du-
ration automatically. Cotton quick washing progra-
mmes will prolong 10 minutes and other cotton
programmes will prolong 5 minutes for good washing
performance.
