[. . . ] To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the Delicates and Woollens programs. Temperature Selector The washing machine is equipped with a Temperature Selector knob to set the temperature you require. Greater energy savings can be achieved by setting the temperature between and 40°C. By selecting the position, the wash temperature is equivalent to the water inlet temperature, thus reducing energy consumption further. We recommend that the temperature shown on wash care garments should never be exceeded. In the case where the temperature has been accidentally set higher than that of the chosen programme, (see Programme Guide table), the machine will lower the temperature automatically to protect the fabrics. 18 40002476. qxd 21/02/2005 13:19 Page 19 Drying Selector The Hoover Sensor Washer Dryer gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all circumstances. 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.
