PRACTICAL ADVICE REGARDING WASHING
Hard water causes sediment to form.
Information about water hardness is available from your nearest
water works.
It is advised that water softeners are used for every wash.

VI. Power cut
(programme memory)
Power cuts or unplugging the machine does not cancel the set-
ting. This has been memorised and the cycle will continue once
the power is restored. Do not open the doors of the washing
machine during a power cut.
VII. Loading
Maximum drum capacity 6 kg:
Load the washing into the drum according to the following in-
structions:
l
cotton, denim, children’s clothes – max full drum (do not force clo-
thes into the drum as this will reduce the quality of the wash!).
l
synthetics - max 1/2 drum
l
wool, silk, delicate fabrics - max. approx. 1/3 of the drum.
Important!
Do not overload the machine! Overloading the machine
may cause damage to the clothes being washed!
The maximum load amounts depending on the program are
given in table of programs.
VIII. Even load
distribution control
The electronic control panel incorporates a balance control system.
Load distribution measurement is taken at the beginning of the
washing cycle. Washing machine drum rotates for about 4 minu-
tes and then the wash cycle begins. Before spinning, the system
checks the distribution of clothes inside the drum. In the event that
too great an imbalance is discovered, it makes several attempts
to rearrange the clothes inside the appliance. Sometimes these
attempts may be insufficient to properly rearrange the clothes (in
the case of towelling dressing gowns washed along with other
types of garments, or sheets which have wrapped up in a ball with
other items inside).
The system may then react in two ways:
l
accept the uneven distribution of garments and reduce spin
speed,
l
determine that the garments are distributed too unevenly and not
allow the spin cycle to proceed.
In either case, after washing cycle is finished open the appliance
door, remove the laundry by hand, close the door and select the
spin setting again.
