NOTES AND INDICATIONS FOR USE

SPIN SPEED CONTROL

•

Spin speed may be reduced automatically or may even be excluded in case of small loads containing highly absorbing garments (e.g. bath robes, towels, etc). This reduces damage to fabric and to the machine and prevents excessive vibration and noise in the machine due to an unbalanced load: by selecting high spin speeds the noise level increases.

CLEANING THE FILTER

•

To ensure an impeccable function of the pump, check the filter regular and clean it if necessary.

THERMOSTAT KNOB

•

This is set by turning the knob until it reaches the desired temperature.
