KG Detector

Available on the Cottons and Synthetics cycles, the intelligent sensor adjusts the water level and programme length throughout each phase of the cycle according to how much laundry you load into the machine. The KG Detector indicator will light up when the intelligent sensor is weighing the laundry.

The washing machine is fitted with a self-adjusting water level system. This system

enables the machine to use the optimum amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load. This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing

performance. The amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes load size.

The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost whilst respecting the environment.

Door Handle	A

To open the door turn the handle as shown in the picture.

A special safety device prevents the door from being opened immediately after the end of the cycle. Wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished and the Door Locked light has gone out before opening the door. At the end of cycle turn the programme selector to OFF .

Re-set the programme selector to the OFF position.

The option buttons should be selected before pressing the "Start/Pause" button.

“STAIN VANISH” Button	D

The Stain Vanish option, selectable on all Cotton cycles, tackles stubborn stains by maintaining wash temperatures throughout the programme and adjusting the spin speed of the drum during critical stages of the wash and rinse cycles. Using this

special programme will increase the wash efficiency without increasing the length of your wash programme.

8

“ALLERGY CARE” button

E

The Allergy Care option washes your clothes in a deeper than normal water level to provide gentler washing for especially delicate fabrics, while detergent is removed

thoroughly with five extra rinses. Perfect for people with delicate skin, this option can be selected on all Cotton and Synthetic cycles.

This option does not need to be selected on the Delicate, Woollen or Hand Wash programmes, as it is already an integrated part of the wash cycles.

“DELAY START” button	F

This button allows you to pre-programme the wash cycle to delay the start of the cycle for up to 24 hours.

To delay the start use the following procedure: Set the required programme.

Press the button once to activate it (h00 appears on the display) and then press it again to set a 1 hour delay (h01 appears on the display); the pre-set delay increases by 1 hour each time the button is pressed, until h24 appears on the display, at which point pressing the button again will reset the delay start to zero.

Confirm by pressing the “START/PAUSE” button (the light on the display starts to flash). The countdown will begin and when it has finished the programme will start automatically.

It is possible to cancel the delay start by taking the following action:

Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the display will show the settings for the programme selected.

At this stage it is possible to start the programme previously selected by pressing the “START/PAUSE” button or to cancel the process by setting the selector to the OFF position and then selecting another programme.

Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while the machine is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.

“TEMPERATURE SELECTION” button	G

When a programme is selected the relevant indicator will light up to show the recommended wash temperature.

The Temperature button can be used to decrease or increase the temperature of your chosen wash cycle.

Each time the button is pressed, the new temperature level is shown on the Wash Temperature Indicator.

“DRYING SELECTION” button	H

With the programme selector not in the OFF position, press the button to select the required drying programme; an indicator will light to display the drying result selected each time you press the button.

To cancel the selection before the start of a drying programme, press the button repeatedly until the indicators go out or return the programme selector to the OFF position.

To cancel the cycle during the drying phase, hold the button down for 2 seconds until the cooling indicator lights up; given the high temperature inside the drum, we recommend that you allow the dryer to complete the cool down period before returning the programme selector to the OFF position and removing the laundry.

“SPIN SPEED” button	I

The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs.

By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle can be cancelled. To reactivate the spin cycle press the button until you reach the spin speed you would like to set. To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is not possible to increase the speed over that which is automatically suitable during the selection of the program.

It is possible to modify the spin speed without to pausing the machine.

Note:

The machine is fitted with a special electronic device, which prevents the spin cycle should the load be unbalanced. This reduces the noise and vibration in the machine and so prolongs the life of your machine.

The display’s indicator system allows you to be constantly informed about the status of the machine:

1) WASH TEMPERATURE

When a programme is selected the relevant indicator will light up to show the recommended wash temperature. The Temperature button can be used to decrease or increase the temperature of your chosen wash cycle. Each time the button is pressed, the new temperature level is shown on the Wash Temperature Indicator.

2) DOOR LIGHT

Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed the light first flashes then stops flashing and remains on until the end of the wash. 2 minutes after the end of the wash the light goes off to show that the door can now be opened.

3) SPIN SPEED

Once the programme has been selected, the maximum spin speed allowed for that programme appears on the display. Pressing the spin button will reduce the speed by 100 rpm each time the button is pressed. The minimum speed allowed is 400 rpm, or it is possible to omit the spin by pressing the spin button repeatedly.

4) DELAY START LIGHT

This flashes when delay start has been set.

5) CYCLE DURATION

When a programme is selected the display automatically shows the cycle duration, which can vary, depending on the options selected. Once the programme has started you will be kept informed constantly of the time remaining to the end of the wash.

The appliance calculates the time to the end of the selected programme based upon a standard loading, during the cycle, the appliance corrects the time to that applicable to the size and composition of the load.

If is selected the automatic washing/drying, at the end of the wash phase, the drying time remaining to the end will be shown on the display.

6) KG Detector Indicator

Available on Cotton and Synthetic cycles, during the first 4 minutes of the cycle the indicator lights and wash time will flash. This means the intelligent sensor is weighing the laundry and will adjust the cycle time, water and electricity consumption accordingly.

7) STAIN LEVEL

Once the programme has been selected the indicator light will automatically show the stain level set for that programme. Selecting a different stain level the relevant indicator will light up.

8)DRYING PROGRAMME INDICATORS

The indicators display the type of the drying programme:

The washer dryers incorporate an Automatic Sensor Drying function which takes the guesswork out of setting the drying time. You simply select the degree of dryness you require and the dryer automatically switches off when that level is reached. For added flexibility there are 3 Sensor Drying levels to choose from:

=Extra dry programme

=Cupboard dry programme

=Iron dry programme

USEFUL TIPS:

Once the programme option has been selected, press the Start Pause button. The appliance will then calculate the time to the end of the selected programme based upon a full dry load. During the cycle the appliance will update the time to suit the actual load size and dampness of the fabrics.

Timed programmes:

Alternatively you may select a pre-determined time for the drying cycle. The Timed Drying programmes may be set to the following times:

120 minutes – 90 minutes – 60 minutes – 30 minutes:

Cool down phase :

A 10 minute cool down phase occurs at the end of each drying cycle to ensure clothes are not too hot to touch when the cycle finishes.

“STAIN LEVEL” button	M

By selecting this button (active only on COTTON and MIXED FIBRES programmes) there is a choice of 3 levels of wash intensity, depending on how much the fabrics are soiled.

Once the programme has been selected the indicator light will automatically show the stain level set for that programme. Selecting a different stain level the relevant indicator will light up. For example: Using this button on the Rapid Wash cycle will enable you to select either a 14, 30 or 44 minute wash cycle.

PROGRAMME selector with "OFF" position	N

When the programme selector is turned the display lights up to show the settings for the programme selected.

N.B. To switch the machine off, turn the programme selector to the “OFF” position.

Today, most detergents have been improved to wash efficiently at lower temperatures, therefore we have set the default temperature settings of each programme to a lower level, saving electricity and reducing the carbon footprint of your machine. You can select an high temperature by pressing the temperature button.

Please refer to the programme guide for the maximum temperature to which each programme can be set.

Press the "Start/Pause" button to start the selected cycle.

Once a programme is selected the programme selector remains stationary on the selected programme till cycle ends.
