Programme duration
After the start of a programme, the
estimated programme duration will
appear in the display in hours and
minutes.
When delay start is being used, the
programme duration will appear after
the delay start time has elapsed.
During the first 8 minutes the washing
machine measures how much water is
being absorbed by the laundry and
uses this to calculate the load. The
programme duration may be longer or
shorter depending on this absorbency
rate.
Delay start
The delay start time selected will
appear in the display.
After the machine has started, the delay
start time counts down. If the delay start
time is more than 10 hours, it will count
down by the hour. If it is less than 9
hours and 59 minutes it will count down
minute by minute.
Once the delay start time has elapsed,
the programme will begin and the
estimated programme duration will
appear in the display.
Settings
The Settings can be used to tailor
machine to suit your personal
preferences.
