Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the ma-chine is stable during the spin.

If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working".

Tips for environmental protection

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

•Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

•Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled garments.

•The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

•When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.

•With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

Main features of your washing machine

•Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector.

•Stain option for effectively treating stained washing.

•Energy saving programme for normally soiled cotton items.

•Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 900, 700 or 500 rpm.

•RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to prevent creasing.

•DELAY START (delayed start):

programme start can be delayed by 30 minutes to 23 hours (e.g. to times with a more economical power rate).

•Programme progress display showing the programme steps selected and the programme phase which is running.

•Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes your garments with extreme care.

•3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric softener.

•Unbalance detection device: to prevent vibration during spinning.
