[. . . ] 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. As a safety measure, check that there is no water evident in the drum. At the end of the cycle turn the programme selector to OFF. If the programme is paused, the door locked indicator will go out after 2 minutes and the door can be opened. Check there is no water evident in the drum before opening the door. TIME TO RUN In order to better manage your time, this washing machine features an indicator light system that keeps you constantly informed on the remaining cycle time. Indicator light Start: Remaining time above 60 minutes Indicator light 60: Remaining time less than 60 minutes Indicator light 30: Remaining time less than 30 minutes Indicator light 15: Remaining time less than 15 minutes Indicator light Stop: End of the programme 17 Wash Options The following options should be selected BEFORE pressing the START button. Prewash This option is available on the Cottons and Synthetics programmes. Prewash is set automatically on the Sports programme. This option is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used independently of the main wash programme. Detergent for this programme should be added to the first compartment of the soap drawer labelled "I" (please refer to the section of this manual entitled `The Dispenser'). We recommend you use only 20% of the quantity used for the main wash programme. Time Saver This option can be used on the Cottons and Synthetics programmes. 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. If loads are seriously unbalanced the spin stage will be cancelled. This helps limit vibration, reduce noise and improve the washing machine's reliability and life. 19 Programme Selector For handling the various types of fabric and their level of soiling in your laundry the washing machine has different programme groups according to type of wash, temperature, spin speeds and duration (see Programme Guide). Cottons The Cottons programmes are designed for maximum washing and rinsing. With spin cycles in between, they guarantee the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed. Synthetics and mixed fabrics Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation speeds and water levels. The delicate spin action minimises creasing. Delicates This is a new concept in washing, with a cycle that consists of alternate periods of activity and pauses, particularly suitable for washing very delicate fabrics. Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results. Rinse, Spin and Drain Individual programmes are available for rinsing, (including the opportunity to add fabric conditioner), spinning, at 800rpm or less if selected via the Spin Speed Selector, and draining the water from the machine. Special Programmes Woolmark A programme dedicated to washing fabrics labelled with the woolmark symbol . [. . . ] Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases. 29 Power Failure If there is a power failure the wash cycle will be interrupted, and the wash programme and functions will be suspended. When the power is restored, the wash programme and functions will re-start from the same point and complete the programme. During a power failure the water can be drained and the load can be removed from the machine as follows: 1. Switch off the machine both via the programme knob and the mains power supply. [. . . ]
