[. . . ] Then check that there is no water evident in the drum before opening the door. Super Rinse button This option adds more water at the rinsing stage. This can help prevent skin irritation from detergent residue that affects people with particularly sensitive skin. Selecting the Super 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. 14 Fast Wash Button This option can be used on cottons and synthetics. By selecting the Fast Was option, the wash time may be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the selected programme, temperature and load, without affecting the quality of the wash. Creaseguard This option is available on the Delicates and Woollens programmes (8, 9 and 10). The machine will stop in the final rinse stage and the load will be held in the water in the drum. This reduces the potential for creasing, thus enabling easier ironing. Press the Creaseguard button to continue withthe programme. The machine will then pump out the water and the programme will conclude with a spin cycle at 800rpm. 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. 15 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 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 comprises 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 and Spin Individual programmes are available for rinsing, (including the opportunity to add fabric conditioner) and spinning, where you can select either a fast spin for Cottons or a slow spin for Synthetics and Delicates. Woollens A programme dedicated to washing fabrics labelled with the woolmark symbol . The cycle comprises of alternate periods of activity and pauses.
