manual abstract
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to the plug terminal marked letter N or coloured black. 6 The Controls and how to use them 1. Programme Selector dial and OIM/OFF knob The selector dial is marked with letters corresponding to those on the chart. To set the machine to the correct programme (see programme chart and table on pages 10 to 13), press in the central grip to engage the dial and turn the dial clockwise until the letter you want coincides exactly with the pointer. Never attempt to turn the control dial in an anti-clockwise direction. Do not turn the programme selector dial when the machine is in operation (indicator lamp “on”). To start the machine, pull out the central grip. If the central grip does not come out easily check that the pointer is in line with the selected letter -if it is not, reset the dial. To stop the machine during a cycle, push the central grip in. At the end of the programme the machine will stop automatically. The indicator lamp will go out automatically after the washing programme has finished. 2. Economy Control dial When this control is set at the maximum 95°C position, your machine will AUTOMATICALLY select the temperature indicated by the washtub symbol (i.e.'E/ 50°) shown alongside each wash programme. These programmes follow the International Textile Care Labelling Code (ITCLC) which is used for wash labels on garments and household linen as well as on washing powder packets, giving the maximum recommended washing temperature for the given type of fabric. However, for wash loads with less than average soiling, you may wish to choose a lower temperature, with the consequent saving in electricity costs. If this is the case, we suggest you turn the Economy Control dial to the temperature indicated in the ECONOMY OPTION column found on the Programme Guide. To select a lower temperature press in the central grip and turn the dial to the chosen temperature. As you gain experience with your machine, you may choose even lower wash temperatures. Feel free to experiment with lower wash temperatures on any programme and assess the results for yourself. Please note that there is a built-in safety device which prevents the machine from selecting a higher temperature than is recommended by the ITCL code. If, for instance, you select N Delicate programme (ITCLC 40°) and inadvertently leave the dial on 60°, the machine will recognise that 40° is the maximum temperature for programme N and will ignore your selection - so the ECONOMY CONTROL function can only be used to reduce the temperature of wash programmes - never increase. At the end of a programme, it is advisable to return the ECONOMY CONTROL dial to the 95° position, where the machine will carry out the standard ITCLC wash programmes as indicated. With this choice of washing temperatures you can make the best use of low temperature washing powders such as New System Persil Automatic, and achieve savings in your electricity costs. 7 The Controls and how to use them 3. Door release button Press this to unlock and open the door. Your washing machine has a safety lock which prevents the door being opened whilst the machine is in operation. You must wait 1-2 minutes after the end of the programme before you can open the door. If it is necessary to interrupt a programme to open the door, first switch off the machine by pressing in the central grip, then set the programme dial to DRAIN, and switch the machine on again. After draining the programme will advance to an OFF position, and a short time delay will occur before the door can be opened. At the end of the synthetics programme the washing remains suspended in water. Turn programme dial to spin (T) or drain (U) before opening the door. 4. Half-load pushbutton By pressing this before selecting a wash programme the intake of water is reduced. This is useful if you want to wash half loads, 2kg (AYz\b) instead of the usual 4.5kg (101b) of cotton or linen items. By reducing the water consumption you will also use less electricity. The half load programme is not suitable for synthetic or mixed fabrics, delicate articles or wool. These fabrics all need a high water level to avoid creasing. 5. Superwash button By pressing the Superwash button, the machine will take in cold water only on 60°C and above programmes which would normally be hot and ■ cold, or hot fill only. The water is then gradually heated to the required temperature. The effect is to improve the overall wash performance, particularly on biological stains ■ such as egg, blood and grass stains, and heavily soiled fabrics, since the longer ‘cool-soak’ phase as the water heats up provides the right conditions for the “chemistry” of the powder and the water temperature to interact, and achieve the best possible results. It’s worth a mention that cold fill only is a boon when using the machine to dye clothes. 6. ON/OFF Indicator The ON/OFF indicator lights up when the central grip of the programme sele...
