[. . . ] This function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy. You are advised to also use this function for children's clothing and for delicate fabrics in general, or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the Delicates and Woollens programs. Spin Speed Selector By adjusting the control knob it is possible to reduce the maximum spin speed of your selected programme to suit your needs and to help reduce any creasing of fabrics. Turn the spin speed selector knob until the indicator aligns with the required spin speed. The maximum spin speed will vary depending on the specification of the machine. 18 40003764. qxd 26/08/2005 18:08 Page 19 Crease Guard This option is only available on the Synthetics, Acrylics, Woolmark and Silk programmes.

Automatic Features Automatic Variable Capacity (Half Load) 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. The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost whilst respecting the environment. Out of Balance protection This model is fitted with an electronic sensor device that checks if the load is balanced correctly. If the load is slightly unbalanced the machine will re-balance it automatically to then carry out the normal spin. If, after several attempts, balance is not restored a reduced spin speed will be used. [. . . ] Remove the plug from the mains power supply socket.
