WASHER FEATURES

On-Off Button

After the clothes have been loaded and the desired water temperature and cycle selected, pressing the ON-OFF button causes the cycle to begin.

On/Off Water Saver Button

This button varies the amount of water used during your wash cycle. Selecting “Low” is recommended when doing partial loads of laundry. Besides using less water, the “Low” setting requires less energy and detergent resulting in additional wash economy.

Since the “Low” setting uses less water you should always select the “High” setting when doing full loads or heavy articles of laundry to ensure proper washing.

NOTE: Be sure to reduce the amount of detergent used during economy (low water) washes.

NOTE: Do not use the “Low” water setting when washing knits & woolens or delicate clothing, or when doing a full load of laundry.

Medium/High Spin Button

When the button is pressed, the spin speed will be reduced from high to low during the regular cycle.

High Heat Half/Heat Button

When this button is pressed, the half heat drying temperature is obtained. Release for maximum heat. Half heat should only be used with delicate fabrics.

Wash Timer

Enables the operator to select the wash program required according to the type of fabric and degree of soiling. Refer to the program chart on page 10.

Water Cycle Selector

Allows operator to select the temperature of the wash/ rinse water.

Drying Timer

This control allows you to preset the drying time you want according to your requirements which may be "damp dry", "ready for ironing" or "dry" ready for put- ting away. The drying time depends largely on the type of material (some fibers absorb more water than others), the dampness of the articles when the drying is started and the amount of laundry. Table napkins, towels, and similar (rather thick) articles will take a longer time to dry. After all the controls have been correctly set, the dryer will start to operate as soon as you close the door. During operation the Drying Timer will gradually return to the "Stop" position "O". The final 12 minutes of the drying cycle is the cooling phase. At the end of this cooling phase it will automatically switch itself off.

Cool Drying Period

Towards the end of the tumble-drying cycle there is a cool drying period which lasts about 12 minutes. The heater is off during this period, while the machine continues to tumble.

When setting a wash/dry cycle the dryer pre-heats the drum during the final spin on all cycles.

The cooling feature helps minimize creasing, and is particularly important with synthetic fabrics. It is also important to cool snaps, zippers, buttons and the machine interior. Practice will soon tell you just how much drying time to allow to get the effect you want.

Drain Screen

The removable drain screen which protects the pump from lint and foreign matter needs to be cleaned periodi- cally. How often will depend on your wash load, e.g. cotton towels cause more lint to collect than nylon loads. Open the service door by pressing on the left hand side. Turn drain screen counter-clockwise and pull the drain screen out. Have a cloth or shallow tray under the drain screen housing, as a small quantity of water may run out. You may find it helpful to first set the machine to spin, allow the unit to start, then remove the drain screen once unit starts. This procedure reduces the amount of water released.

Clean the screen under running water to help remove any lint. Replace the screen by sliding back into the housing within 3 minutes. Lastly turn clockwise to secure.

Under no circumstances should the drain screen be removed while the machine is full of water.

Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser is designed so detergent, additives and bleach will flush automatically into your machine.

Use only 1 to 2 tablespoons of powder detergent or liquid equivalent.

It is divided into 4 compartments, for cold wash, hot wash, detergents, additives (i.e. fabric softeners) and bleach.

At the end of the wash program, any remaining liquids will be automatically siphoned out leaving the dispenser ready for the next wash.

A small amount of water may remain in compartment "C" and/or "D" at the end of the wash program. This can easily be removed by pouring a small additional amount of water into this compartment, which allows the siphon to operate and draw all the water into the machine. Note: The detergent dispenser drawer and housing should be cleaned to prevent a build up of detergent and fabric softener. This dispenser drawer is easily removed by pulling out. Rinse it under the tap, dry and replace.
