G Programme control and on/off
control
The selector dial is marked with letters
corresponding to those on the chart.
To set the machine to the correct
programme (see programme chart and
table on pages 12-15) turn the dial
clockwise until the letter you want
coincides exactly with the pointer. Never
attempt to turn the control dial in an
anti-clockwise direction.
Do not turn the program selector knob
when the machine is operating (pilot
lamp "on").
To start the machine, pull out the knob.
If the knob does not come out easily
check that the pointer is in line with the
selected letter — if it is not, reset the
dial.
To stop the machine during a wash cycle
or drying cycle, push the dial in. At the
end of the programme push the knob in
and the pilot light will go out.
The machine will have stopped
automatically.
H Drain filter
This is situated at the base of the
cabinet. [t will need cleaning from time
to time. (See page 22).
The washing programme
The washing machine has 13
programmes and 8 additional
programmes such as "rinse" or "spin
only" (see charts pages 12-15). Each
washing programme is designed for a
specific type of fabric, for example
cotton, nylon mixed fabrics such as
polycotton, etc. They follow the
International Textile Care Labelling Code
(ITCLC) which is used for wash labels on
garments and household linen as well as
on washing powder packets. This makes
it simple to choose the right programme
for the fabric you are washing.
The Energetic wash cycles for robust
fabrics (B-G) are completely automatic,
taking the clothes through washing,
rinsing, spinning and draining.
The Gentle wash cycles (M-U) are for
minimum iron, drip dry and delicate
fabrics. The machine stops after the last
rinse before the water draining and
spinning. The clothes are left suspended
in water to prevent them becoming
creased by remaining in the bottom of
the wash tub in a damp state after
spinning. To complete the cycle, turn the
programme selector dial to cycle X for
water draining followed by a short spin,
or to cycle Z for drain only if you are
washing drip dry articles.
