inspect the balance when spinning. In order to protect the
machine, when the clothes is unbalance, it will expend the
spinning time or reduce speed to keep the clothes balance,
or spin in a lower speed.
• When there are excessive foams, the time on the display
will cease for a spell, meanwhile the machine is eliminating
the foams rather than fault, and the machine will
automatically return to normal program if finished.
• Make sure you use the recommended types of detergent as
appropriate.

lightly soiled loads.
