PARAMETERS: PLS WAIT
The Inter@ct panel will then display the time to complete the programme and then the wash
cycle will commence. Inter@ct calculates the time to the end of the selected programme
based upon a standard 5 Kg load, during the cycle, Inter@ct corrects the time to that
applicable to the size and composition of the load.
Example
TIME TO END 1H:50M
COLD PREWASH 19:30
This display also shows the current phase of the cycle (eg, Currently in cold prewash) and in
the bottom right hand corner, the current time is displayed.
This display will change throughout the wash programme as the cycle develops.
PAUSE
The programme may be paused at any time during the wash cycle by holding down the
Start/Pause button for about two seconds and a beep will sound. A message will appear on
the display to inform you that the programme has been paused. To restart the programme
press the Start/Pause button once again. The display will inform you that the programme will
continue.

PROGRAMME PAUSED
CANCEL
To cancel the programme the Start/Pause button must be pressed down for 5 seconds until the
beep sounds. The display will inform you that the display has been paused and has then been
cancelled.

BIG WASH LOAD button
Hoover has designed a special wash boost system specially for big loads - by selecting this
button, (available on programmes 1 ÷ 11) the volume of water within the selected wash cycle
is increased and the length of time of the programme is extended to improve the wash
performance for the bigger load.
Express Wash button
This option can be utilised on cotton and synthetic programmes. By selecting the express
wash option, the wash time may be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the
programme selected.
Pre-Wash button
This option is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used before selecting the
main wash programme. Detergent for this programme should be added to the first
compartment of the soap drawer labelled "I" (Please refer to Detergent Drawer Section of
manual). We recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the
detergent pack and fabric conditioner should not be used for this programme.
Extra Rinse Button
This option adds more water at the rinsing stage. This can help prevent skin irritation from
detergent residue for people with particularly sensitive skin. Selecting the Extra rinse button is
also recommended when washing heavily soiled fabrics which needs a lot of detergent, or
when the wash load contains towelling fabrics that have a greater tendency to retain
detergent.
Select Spin
On selecting the wash programme the display will inform you of the maximum spin speed
permitted for that programme. By repeatedly pressing the select spin button the speed will
decrease by increments of 100 rpm. The minimum speed permitted is 400 rpm, or by
continuously pressing the select spin option the spin may be cancelled if desired.
On selecting the required spin speed the display will then inform you of the chosen
programme, its temperature and the newly selected spin speed.
Intensive Wash button
This function which is available on all cotton programmes is very useful for heavy soiling. The
temperature is kept constant throughout all the wash phases and the programme is extended
to ensure an extra deep cleaning performance.
Set Programme End Time
The programme end time/delay start options can be used if you want the washing to be ready
at a later time (but within 24 hours).
