[. . . ] 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 Cotton programmes only. By selecting this option, the machine will wash a small quantity of fabrics (1-2kg), avoiding every kind of waste. The water consumption is reduced by up to 55%, the energy consumption is cut by up to 60% and the time needed is reduced. Extra Rinse This option is available on the cottons programmes. The option increases the number of rinses to five (including the final conditioned rinse). This can help prevent skin irritation from detergent residue, which can affect people with particularly sensitive skin. Selecting the Extra Rinse button is also recommended when washing heavily soiled fabrics which need a lot of detergent, or when the wash load contains towelling fabrics that have a greater tendency to retain detergent. Fast Iron This option is only available on Synthetics, Acrylics, Woolmark and Silk programmes. Programme Synthetics Fast Iron function The programme is completed by a short spin of very low speed. The machine stops in the final rinse stage and the option indicators blink. The load is held in the water in the drum, thus reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing. Action required to complete the cycle To select a full spin cycle please turn the dial to the required spin programme. Press the FAST IRON button to continue with the programme. The machine will then pump out the water and the programme will conclude with a short spin. Finally, the programme carries out a brief tumbling action to loosen the items in the load. Press the FAST IRON button and the machine will pump out the water and complete the cycle with a short spin cycle. Acrylics Woolmark The machine stops in the final rinse stage and the option indicators blink. The load is held in the water in the drum, thus reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing. Silk The machine stops in the final rinse stage and the option indicators blink. The load is held in the water in the drum, thus reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing. Press the FAST IRON button and the machine will pump out the water to complete the cycle. The load will not be spun and will therefore be very wet. 18 40002277. qxd 11/11/2004 10:35 Page 19 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 using the lower temperature settings around the dial 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. [. . . ] Remove the plug from the mains power supply socket. Carefully move the machine so the rear of the machine is accessible. Please follow the safety precautions which we recommend under the Safety Notes section of this manual. Unclip the drain hose from the rear panel of the machine and lower the hose into a bowl on the floor. [. . . ]
