[. . . ] This option is particularly useful for really dirty loads and can be used independently of the main wash programme. Additional detergent for the Prewash part of the programme should be added to the first compartment of the soap drawer labelled "1" (please refer to the section of this manual entitled "Detergent"). We recommend you use only 20% of the quantity used for the main wash programme. Cottons The Cottons programme is also designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency. With spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed. This cycle is set to 40°C, but the temperature may be altered using the Temperature option button. "A" Wash 59' This specially designed programme maintains the high quality wash performance identified with the "A" rating whilst greatly reducing the wash time. The progrramme is designed for a maximum load of 3 kg with a temperature of 60°C and concludes with 2 rinses and a high speed spin sequence. Synthetics Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through using drum rotation speeds and water levels suitable for synthetics and mixed fabrics. The programme will default to 40°C, but the temperature may be altered using the Temperature option button. The delicate spin action minimises creasing. The final spin speed for the synthetics programme is 800rpm 22 23 Delicate The cycle will consist of alternate periods of activity and pauses. This is particularly suitable for washing very delicate fabrics, as it creates a hand-washing effect. Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results. Sports This washing machine has a unique Sportswear programme. It is specially designed to wash mixed sportswear fabrics that cannot be washed on hotter programmes and is designed to remove the dirt and staining created by participation in sports activities. This programme washes at a cool 30°C, rinses twice (one is for fabric conditioner) and spins at 800rpm for the best care of your really dirty, delicate garments. Wool This is a programme dedicated to washing fabrics labelled with the Woolmark symbol . The cycle consists of alternate periods of activity and pauses. Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results. The programme has a maximum temperature of 40°C and concludes with 3 rinses, one for fabric conditioner, and a short spin at 800rpm. High Heat Low Heat Rinse High temperature drying programme for Cottons and linen items, always refer to the care label Low temperature drying programme for synthetics and mixed fibres, always refer to the care label. This programme carries out three rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the Spin Speed option). It can be used for rinsing any type of fabric e. g. use after hand washing. Spin The Spin programme completes the spin at the maximum spin speed, this can be reduced by using the Spin Speed option button. Wash & Dry 59' When you only have a few items to wash and dry in a hurry, this 59 minute cycle is the ideal time saver!Suitable for a light 1. 5kg load size (e. g. 4 shirts) or slightly dirty fabrics, this cycle will wash, rinse, spin and dry your garments in under an hour. We recommend that you reduce the detergent dosage when using this programme to avoid wastage. Drain Silk This programme drains out the water from the machine. [. . . ] The load was out of balance (see page 22). In this case the load may not have dried within the maximum time allowed. Select a drying only programme (page 25) to complete the drying.
