● Woollens.

● Large bulky items eg.

quilts, bedspreads,
pillows etc... expand
when dry,preventing air
flow through the
appliance.

● Items containing plastic

film, foam rubber or
rubber like materials eg.
pillows, cushions, PVC
rainwear or inflammable
articles which contain
inflammable substances
eg. towels contaminated
with hair lacquer.

● Fibreglass (eg.some

types of curtains).

● Items which have been

dry cleaned.

Choosing a Drying Programme

Fabric

Natural

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: A 10 minute ‘Cool Tumble’phase at the end of
each drying cycle allows fabrics to gently cool down, minimising creasing.

All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’,this should not
be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and fluffy. If clothes are subjected
to extreme drying they tend to wrinkle and consequently need more
ironing than usual. As clothes feel damper when warm, allow for this
when removing items before the ‘Cool Tumble’phase is complete.

This machine incorporates a ‘Dry Spin’ feature, see Automatic Features.

ie. towels, to 3kg (7lb) to give
good washing/rinsing results.

● Place small items in a wash bag.

● Check wash labels as some items

may require a cool programme.

● Wash non-colourfast woollens or
really dirty laundry separately as
they may affect other items.

Cleaning the Exterior:

Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior surfaces of the
appliance.

Cleaning the Door Bowl:

Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly with a soft cloth.
A build up of soap powder and water hardness residue may result in
water leaking from the door.

DO NOT clean any part of the machine with abrasive cleaners,scouring
agents, acids, chlorine based bleach or metal polish as they may cause
damage.

Automatic Features:

Intelligent Care:

Takes care of your laundry by monitoring your machine’s performance.
Prevents your machine spinning with an uneven load and reports any
specific problems on the Infobubble™ display.

Temperature Sensed Fill:

Makes the best use of the existing hot water supply,saving energy,
time and money.

Auto Creasecare:

Reduces creasing on any wash programme by gradually reducing the
water temperature towards the end of the wash programme.

Profile Spin:

Less water, less creasing and less ironing. Gradually steps up the spin
speed for the most efficient water extraction.

Pulse Spin:

Reduces wear and tear on your laundry. A long,steady spin is
followed by a 30 second burst at the maximum speed for your
machine, to enable safer,more efficient water extraction.

Dry Spin:

There will be a 2 minute spin about 20 minutes after the drying
programme has started; this improves the drying performance.

NOTE: This feature will not operate if you have selected a combined Wash
& Auto Dry Programme for synthetic fabrics.
