QUICKWASH BUTTON
Select this button to reduce the length of any cotton or
synthetics programme, saving approximately 10
minutes - ideal for busy days, or for when you have a
lightly soiled load.
HALF LOAD BUTTON
Select this button to reduce water consumption on the
rinse cycle when washing a smaller load of cottons or
linens. (Maximum load size = 2.25 kg).
RINSEHOLD BUTTON
Press this button to make the machine stop with water
in the drum after the synthetic, delicate or wool wash
cycles. This prevents any creasing which may take
place if the clothes are left damp in the drum. When
it is convenient for you to empty the machine, simply
press this button again so that the machine can proceed
to drain and spin, or turn the dial to the drain programme
(13).
BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE
When you are ready to start a programme check that:
— the machine is plugged in
— the water supply taps are turned on
— the drain hose is correctly and securely positioned
— the door and the washing powder dispenser drawer
are properly closed.
Then turn the dial to the required programme, as
described above, and press the «on/off» button.
ON/OFF BUTTON & MAINS ON LIGHT
When you have selected a programme and chosen any
of the options you require press the on/off button to start
the machine. The «mains on» light will come on.
When the programme has finished press this button
again to switch the machine off. The «mains on» light
will then go out.
There is a safety delay on this machine, so you must
wait approximately 2 minutes after the end of the
programme before you can open the machine door.
