Automatic features
Auto half load:
Auto half load saves you time and money when
washing smaller loads.
Water levels are automatically adjusted to cater for the
different loads.
Unbalanced load:
Your machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent it
spinning with an unbalanced load. If the machine is
unable to balance the load it will abort the spin
process.
If this safety feature is encountered you can spin the
load, after first opening the door, redistributing the
load and selecting a spin only programme.
