YOUR ELECTRONIC WASHING MACHINE GB

This washing machine is equipped with all-e lectron ic con trol, wh ich ope ns up a host of possi bi litie s for you. Amongst others, these include: precise determination of load, imbalance detection and correct ion system, fast prog ramme changing, accurat e programme sequence indicator, start delay, soaking, safety feature

The

•

load determining facility

optimises the washing procedure accordingly. The machine adapts automatically to the prevailing circumstances: if you are washing a minimum load, the programme carries out only two rinse cycles during the cotton and synthetics programmes, while keeping the rinse results very good. You save on water, energy and time as a result.

Thanks to its circumstances, achieving favourable consumption figures even in the case of small loads. Water supply temperature and pressure, quantity of water and degree of loading, are the parameters taken into account. The progamme duration is influenced by these factors. This is checked and updated at particular stages of the programme. Consequently, the programme duration can vary by up to 60 minutes.

The

imbalance detection and correction system

imbalance is too great on initiating a spin cycle. This may occur with a badly distributed load or in the case of single large laundry item. The laundry is re-distributed and the spin speed is not increased until satisfactory laundry distribution has been achieved.

If you happen to have selected the wrong programme, you can quickly change programme at any time, without needing to add new detergent. Select the desired programme and start the appliance. The new program resumes the wash programme at the same stage at which the preceding one was interrupted.

The

accurate sequence indicator

LED indicators coming on: after starting the programme, the programme sequence indicator moves from left to right passing through “Wash”, “Rinse”, “Spin”. Once the current stage of the programme has been completed that LED indicator goes out.
