Extra rinse The machine has two additional levels of rinsing. This will improve the rinsing effect if you live in a hard water area or if you are washing the clothes of a person who suffers from skin allergies. However it will not increase the water consumption.
Detergent drawer Pre wash section This compartment should have detergent placed in, if you are going to select a wash program that has a pre wash as part of it. Conditioner section This compartment should be used for liquid conditioners (fabric softener, starch).
Preparing the wash cycle Preparing your garments for washing o Your washing should be sorted out, according to the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is printed on the garment’s wash care label. (see separate section on wash care symbols). o Check all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are empty.
A selection of wash care symbols o The wash care symbols should be used to help you to select the most suitable wash program. They will also help you to sort your laundry into different loads, depending on the fabric type and the highest temperature which the garment can be washed at.
Detergents and conditioners The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will depend on o The degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general require less detergent. o The size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a reduction in the amount of detergent.
Wash program guidance o 1) A program option can only be selected if the wash program chart indicates that this is possible. o If you use the “Rapid wash” and Extra rinse” program options simultaneously, then they will cancel each other out. o The washing machine will automatically select a spin speed for a particular wash program.
Selecting a wash program Load your laundry and put detergent in the relevant compartment of the soap drawer. Close the porthole door firmly. Turn the wash program selection knob to your desired wash cycle. o The LCD display will show the approximate time the chosen wash cycle will take to complete.
At the end of the wash cycle o Once the washing machine has completed its cycle, STOP will show on the LCD display. The door lock light will remain off for one minute; this indicates that the door is still locked. o After one minute the LOCK DOOR light will turn on.
Changing a wash program o If you have accidentally selected the wrong wash program, then it is possible to change it to the correct one. Press the START/STOP button to interrupt the wash cycle. Turn the program selection knob to the wash program that you wanted to select originally.
Delay start feature Your appliance has a delay start feature, which allows you to pause the start of a wash cycle until a later time. Follow the process listed under “Selecting a wash program” After pressing the Start/Stop button, immediately press the Start/Stop button again.
To cancel the delay start feature, you should press and hold down the Start/Stop button until the LCD display changes back to the screen that you see when originally selecting a wash program. You can then select another wash cycle that will start immediately or you can set up the delay start feature to operate again.
o This feature is useful if you are not going to be present when the wash cycle completes, as it will lessen the chance of the garments becoming creased. Please note that if you suspend the clothes in water, you must select a spin or drain program and not just cancel the program.
Detergent drawer Occasionally the detergent drawer should be cleaned. Clean the area that the detergent drawer slides into with a brush. The washing machine drum The drum of your washing machine is constructed from stainless steel. However if there are objects that can rust placed inside the drum, then it is possible for the drum to become stained.
