The machine will stop in the final rinse stage with the option indicators blinking and the load will be held within the water in the drum. This reduces creasing, thus enabling easier ironing. Press the RINSE HOLD button and the machine will pump out the water to complete the cycle. The clothes load will not be spun and will therefore be very wet. Silk 18 40002589. qxd 02/02/2005 11:39 Page 19 Drying Time Selector 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 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. Drying Time Guide The times given above are indicative and will vary with the exact level of dryness required (eg for ironing or ready to hang) and the size and composition of the load. Type of fabric Cottons, linen Load Size 3kg 1. 5kg Drying Time 120 minutes 50 minutes 70 minutes 40 minutes Synthetics and mixed fabrics 2kg 1kg The maximum drying capacity of this machine is 3kg of dry laundry. 19 40002589. qxd 02/02/2005 11:39 Page 20 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. 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. 20 40002589. qxd 02/02/2005 11:39 Page 21 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 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 Acrylics Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation speeds and water levels. [. . . ] Remove the plug from the mains power supply socket.
