It is unlikely that water will be visible in the drum!
This is due to the latest technology that achieves the
same standard of washing and rinsing but with far less
water consumption.
Note:
The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents (check detergent information
on pack) can have the following effects:
– waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of a white powder
(zeolites) held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected;
– presence of white powder on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric
and does not alter the colour of the fabric.
– The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing.
– Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.
Power failure
If there is a power failure the wash cycle will be interrupted, the wash programme and
functions will be suspended. When the power is restored, the wash programme and functions
will re-start from the same point and complete the programme.
The load can be removed from the machine during a power failure as follows:
The water can be drained from the machine by:
1. Switch off the machine by the control knob and at the mains power supply.
Remove the plug from the mains power supply socket.
2. Carefully move the machine so the rear of the machine is accessible. Please follow the
safety precautions which we recommend under the "safety notes" section of this manual.
3. Unclip the drain hose from the rear panel of the machine and lower the hose into a bowl on
the floor.
Important: the water may be very hot!
When the bowl is full raise the end of the drain pipe to a height higher than the top of the
appliance to stop the flow of water. Empty and replace the bowl and continue draining the
machine until empty.
