The table below lists the programmes and the function of each programme. For tumble drying select the appropriate drying programme via the Programme Selector. For drying cotton fabrics select the High Dry option and for synthetic fabrics select the Low Dry option. Turn the drying time selector until the indicator aligns with the drying programme or desired time. Do not mix cottons and synthetics to avoid damage to the laundry. Note: If the drying time is selected before the wash cycle is completed the machine will automatically commence the drying programme. Refer to the Programme Guide to identify which drying programme will be automatically selected after the wash programme. To protect your laundry certain programmes (eg Silk) cannot be followed automatically by a drying programme. The drying time can be reduced at any time during the cycle but cannot be increased. Note: For small loads (less than 1kg) or for partially dry loads it is advisable to use the 30 minute drying programme. Your washer dryer automatically concludes the drying programme when the load is dry or the set time is reached. For the dryer to operate correctly of it is preferable not to interrupt the drying phase if not really necessary.

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. [. . . ] Remove the plug from the mains power supply socket.
