safety
Your ISE washing machine has several modern safety and security features built in
in order to protect your clothing, property and the machine itself. It is important
that you familiarise yourself with these features
Balance Protection
The machine has a feature built into the electronics that will detect what is known
as an “out of balance” or OOB situation where the weight of clothing in the drum
could cause damage by being spun through excessive vibration. Things that are li-
able to make this feature engage is where single items of clothing, especially heavy
items such as towels or jeans, would not distribute evenly around the drum before
the machine spins.
The machine will attempt, before entering into a spin cycle, to sort and distribute
the washing to give as even a balance as possible thereby minimising any vibra-
tions and making the machine smoother and quieter in operation.
However, should the machine not be able to evenly distribute the laundry to ensure
that the machine spins in a safe and controlled manner the spin cycle will abort
after several attempts to compensate.
In order to avoid this situation we would suggest washing several items at once or,
where this is not possible, add “ballast” to the machine so that it can spin safely. This
practise of not washing single items where it is avoidable is far more efficient and
environmentally friendly.
Overfill & Overheat
Your machine is also equipped with sensors that will detect both an overfill and
overheat situation. Both of these features work in the background and require no
user intervention.
Should either of these features be activated an error message will be indicated by
way of a fault code and you should contact your nearest service centre for further
assistance (see page 26).
Door Safety Device
Your machine has a door safety device that prevents the door from being opened
inadvertently or by a child whilst in operation. This door lock will also remain locked
for approximately two minutes after the wash cycle has been completed and the
drum has stopped moving.
