RUSSELL HOBBS Washing Machine RH1247W - Manual (Page 20)

Your machine features a half-load detection system. If you only put
laundry into the machine that is approximately half or less than half of
the maximum laundry capacity stated for your machine , your machine
will run so as to save washing time, water consumption and energy in
some programmes (Cotton 95°, Cotton 60°, Cotton 40°). When half-
load function is active, the machine can complete the programme you
have set in a shorter time.
