Note: this model is fitted with an electronic “sensor” device that
checks the load is balanced correctly. If the load is slightly
unbalanced the machine will re-balance it automatically to then
carry out the normal spin.
If, after several attempts, balance is not restored a reduced spin
speed will be used.
If loads are seriously unbalanced the spin stage will be cancelled.
This helps limit vibration, reduce noise and improve the washing
machine’s reliability and life.

Note: do not press the START/PAUSE button before selecting the
programme. If this does happen, cancel the programme (that you
have accidentally selected) by pressing the Start/Pause button
for five seconds (see “Programme cancelled” description).

PROGRAMME Selector

Time Saver Button

This option can be utilised on cottons and synthetics. By selecting the Time Saver
option, the wash time may be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the selected
programme, temperature and load, without giving up a good wash quality.

Creaseguard

This option is available on cottons, synthetics, delicates and the Handwash special
programme. When this option is selected for cottons, woollens and the Handwash
programmes, the machine will stop in the final rinse stage and the load will be held within
the water in the drum. This reduces the creasing thus enabling easier ironing. To continue
with the wash cycle, press the "CREASEGUARD" button and the programme will restart.
When the option is selected for synthetics the programme is completed by a short,
very low spin speed. The laundry may be left in the drum in this condition without the
risk of excessive creasing. If a spin cycle is required please select the appropriate spin
(see Programme Guide).
When the option is selected for delicate programmes, the machine stops in the final
rinse stage and the load will be held within the water in the drum, thus reduces
creasing and enabling easier ironing. Press the "CREASEGUARD" button to continue
with the programme. The machine will the pump out the remaining water and the
programme will conclude with a low speed spin for approximately 15 seconds. Finally,
the programme carries out a brief tumbling action to "loosen" the items in the load.

Spin Speed Selector

By adjusting the control knob it is possible to reduce the maximum speed of your
selected programme to suit your needs and help reduce creasing of fabrics.
Turn the spin speed selector knob until the indicator aligns with the required spin.
