[. . . ] When a new programme is selected the display will indicate that the programme has been cancelled as follows: 11 CANCELLED PROG 90 21 To start another wash cycle the programme selector must be returned to OFF once again BEFORE the next programme can be selected and started. 40002168. qxd 20/10/2004 19:14 Page 22 Wash Options The following options should be selected BEFORE pressing the Start Pause button. The light on each option button will come on if the option has been selected. Spin Speed Selection (Spin Speed) By pressing the Spin Speed option button it is possible to reduce the maximum spin speed of your selected programme to suit your needs and to help reduce any creasing of fabrics. The maximum spin speed will vary depending on the specification of the machine. 11 COTTON WHITE HEAVY SOIL 90 Spin Speed ÷ 100 rpm; so in this example 11 = 1100 rpm The light on the option button will come on if a spin speed lower than that stated in the programme guide has been selected. Time Saver This option can be used on the Cottons (Cottons, Colourfast, Non-fast) and Synthetics programmes. By selecting the Time Saver option, the wash time can be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the selected programme, temperature and load, without affecting the quality of the wash. Prewash (Prewash) This option is available on the Cottons (Cottons, Colourfast, Non-fast) and Synthetics programmes. 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 Dispenser section of this manual). We recommend you use only 20% of the quantity used for the main wash programme. 22 40002168. qxd 20/10/2004 19:14 Page 23 Temperature Selection (Wash Temp) This washing machine is equipped with a variable temperature function. Each press of the Wash Temp button reduces the temperature of the wash. Greater energy savings can be achieved by setting the temperature between 15°C and 40°C. By setting the temperature to 15°C 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. The machine will not accept a temperature input that is higher than that stated in the programme guide. 11 COTTON WHITE HEAVY SOIL 90 Temperature (°C) The light on the option button will come on if a temperature lower than that stated in the programme guide has been selected. Sensitive Care This option is available on the Cottons programmes (Cottons, Colourfast, Nonfast) and it 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 Sensitive Care 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. Stain Buster Selecting the Stain Buster option adds 90 minutes of gentle wash action at 35°C to the start of the selected programme. This will allow more time for biological detergents to operate giving improved stain removal. This option is available on cottons and synthetics wash programmes. Delay Start The Programme Set End Time/Delay Start options can be used if you want the washing to be ready at a later time (but within 24 hours). The way these buttons function will depend on which Time Mode you have selected in the Inter@ct menu. 23 40002168. qxd 20/10/2004 19:14 Page 24 1. Set Delay Start Press the Delay Start button once and press the hours and minutes buttons (Stain Buster and Child Lock) until the required time is set. The display returns to the programme option if you do not start to set the time within 5 seconds. Once you have set the required Delay Start, press the Start Pause button. If the Absolute Time Mode has been selected at the menu set-up stage and you wish to delay the start of the programme until 08. 00, the display will appear as follows: PROGRAM START AT 08:00 If the Relative Time Mode has been selected at the menu set-up stage and you wish to delay the start of the programme by 4 hours 30 minutes, the display will appear as follows: DELAY START BY 4H 30M 2. Programme Set End Time Press the Delay Start button twice and press the hours and minutes buttons (Stain Buster and Child Lock) until the required time is set. [. . . ] Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases. Power Failure If there is a power failure the wash cycle will be interrupted, and the wash programme and functions will be suspended. When the power is restored, the wash programme and functions will restart from the same point and complete the programme. During a power failure the water can be drained and the load can be removed from the machine as follows: 1. Switch off the machine both via the programme knob and the mains power supply. [. . . ]
