power wash
Recommended for heavily soiled
garments. Particularly
recommended when trying to
remove protein stains.
Washing time is extended.
Only cold water is introduced to the
drum. The washing machine then
heats the water to the selected
wash temperature. By raising the
temperature from cold up to the set
temperature all components of the
detergent are activated in stages for
best stain removal and cleaning
results.
Acoustic Signal
An acoustic signal indicates proĆ
gram statuses (e.g. start/end of
program and operating faults.
To activate the signal:
q Select a program.
q Press two of the Option
Buttons(e.g. bleach and extra
rinse) until a long signal is
emitted.
To deactivate the signal:
q Select a program.
q Press two of the Option
Buttons and hold until a short
signal is emitted.
i Do not activate/desactivate the
acoustic signal during a
program runs.
Indicator light above
the start/pause"
button
The indicator light conveys the
following information:
- Indicator light flashing red:
Program can be started.
- Adding laundry is possible.
- Indicator light is lit red.
Program is running.
- Adding laundry is not possible
because the door is locked for
safety reasons.
Laundry may be added after
pressing the start/pause button.
Special features
Auto Load adjust
Auto Load adjust" adjusts the
water and energy consumption for
each program and determines the
amount of laundry and type of
fabrics.
This process is built into your
machine and occurs automatically.
This control reduces water and
energy consumption when washing
small loads.
Unbalanced load detection
system
The automatic unbalanced load
detection system spins the laundry
several times to ensure even
distribution.
If the wash load is unevenly
distributed, it will not spin (for safety
reasons) or the final spin speed is
reduced.
In the wool program the appliance
will attempt to start the spin cycle
only twice in order to prevent
shrinking.
Displayed Time
Due to these and other
characteristics of the controls the
actual cycle time will vary.
When a program has been
selected, the expected program
duration is displayed.
The following will effect the
displayed time:
- Load size
- Repeated spin attempts to
evenly distributed load
- Additional rinse cycles if
excessive foam occurs
- Water pressure is too low
- Selection of additional options,
e.g. extra rinse"
i You may notice these effects
(more or less time) changes the
displayed time when they occur
in the cycle. If no options are
selected and these effects do
not occur, the time indicated
will count down until the end of
the cycle.
