WATER HARDNESS
Hard water causes scale deposition. Information about water hardness is available from the
nearest water works. We recommend that you use water softener for each washing.
POWER OUTAGE (PROGRAMME MEMORY)
Power outage or unplugging the appliance does not cancel the set programme. The programme
is memorised and resumes when power is restored. Do not open the appliance doors during a
power outage.
LOAD
Maximum drum capacity 6 kg.
Load the laundry into the drum according to the following instructions:
1). cotton, denim, children's clothes – max full drum (do not force clothes into the drum as this
will reduce the quality of the wash),
2). Synthetics – max ½ of the drum,
3). Delicates fabrics – 1/3 of the drum.
Do not overload the appliance. Overloading the appliance may damage the clothes being
washed! If you overload the appliance the OVL is shown appears on the display — remove
excess laundry from the drum and restart the washing machine. The maximum load
amounts depending on the programme are given in table of programmes.
LOAD DISTRIBUTION CONTROL
The appliance features load distribution control system.
Before spinning, this checks the distribution of clothes inside the drum. In the event that too
great an imbalance is detected, the system makes several attempts to rearrange the clothes
inside the appliance. Sometimes these attempts to distribute the load are not successful. Prob-
lems may be caused by terrycloth robes washed together with other types of laundry, such as
bed sheets that formed a bundle around other items of laundry.
The system may then respond in two ways:
1). accept the uneven distribution of garments and reduce spin speed,
2). cancel the spinning.
In either case, after washing cycle is finished open the appliance door, remove the laundry by
hand, close the door and select the spin setting again.
