Programme Descriptions
For handling the various types of fabric and their level of dirtiness in your laundry the
washing machine has different programme groups according to type of wash,
temperature, spin speed and duration (see Programme Guide).
Once the programme is selected, the intelligent sensor will weigh the laundry using the
KG Mode and adjust the critical elements of the wash cycle depending on the weight
of the laundry to ensure perfect results (available on Cotton and Synthetic cycle). The
KG Mode is activated during the first 4 minutes of the cycle, which enables the
machine to:
●
adjust the amount of water required;
●
determine the length of the wash cycle;
●
control rinsing according to the fabric type selected;
●
recognises if too much lather is present, adjusting the water level during rinsing if necessary;
●
adjusts the spin speed according to the load, avoiding any imbalance
Cotton with Pre Wash
The Cotton programme is designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency. With
spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The
final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum
speed.
The Cotton programme includes a Prewash cycle. This option is particularly useful for
really dirty loads and can be used independently of the main wash programme.
Additional detergent for the Prewash part of the programme should be added to the
first compartment of the soap drawer labelled "1" (please refer to the section of this
manual entitled “Detergent”). We recommend you use only 20% of the quantity used
for the main wash programme.
Cottons
The Cottons programme is also designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency.
With spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the laundry is rinsed per-
fectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the
maximum speed. This cycle is set to 40°C, but the temperature may be altered using
the Temperature option button.
“A” Wash 59'
This specially designed programme maintains the high quality wash performance
identified with the “A” rating whilst greatly reducing the wash time. The progrramme is
designed for a maximum load of 3 kg with a temperature of 60°C and concludes
with 2 rinses and a high speed spin sequence.
Synthetics
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through using drum rotation speeds
and water levels suitable for synthetics and mixed fabrics. The programme will default
to 40°C, but the temperature may be altered using the Temperature option button. The
delicate spin action minimises creasing. The final spin speed for the synthetics
programme is 800rpm

Automatic Features
KG Mode (Half Load)
Available on the Cottons and Synthetics cycles, the intelligent sensor adjusts the water
level and programme length throughout each phase of the cycle according to how
much laundry you load into the machine. The KG Mode indicator will light up when
the intelligent sensor is weighing the laundry.
The washing machine is fitted with a self-adjusting water level system. This system
enables the machine to use the optimum amount of water needed to wash and rinse
the laundry in relation to the particular load. This results in a reduction of the water
and electricity used without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing
performance. The amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for
the clothes load size.
The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost
whilst respecting the environment.
Out of Balance protection
This model is fitted with an electronic sensor device that checks if the load is balanced
correctly. If the load is slightly unbalanced the machine will re-balance it automatically
and 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.
