will commence when there is sufficient water in the bowl.
If you add more clothes to the washbowl after an auto
sensing water level wash program has started, the machine
will auto sense the new load and add extra water if needed.
For auto water level, the amount of water the machine
determines for a load is an optimised level. You can adjust
the auto level to be a small amount above or below the
optimised level if you consider the amount of water you
normally get using the auto option is too high or too low. To
do this, see ‘Customising the auto sensing water level’ on
page 12.

continue to run for 10 seconds. Check the water level being
used for your wash during the time the pump is running.
If you do not close the lid after 10 seconds, the pump will
stop and the water level in the washbowl will begin to drop.
If the lid is left open, the water level can drop a maximum
100mm as water drains from the inner to the outer bowl.
The level of water may then appear too low for your wash
load, but closing the lid will start the recirculation pump and
the water level will return to the working level, ie. rise by a
maximum 100mm.

If you are using program settings where the recirculation
system is not active, the water level will not change when
you open the lid.

temperature.
There are 5 temperatures to choose from:

Press the Temp. button repeatedly until the temperature you
want is highlighted with an indicator light.
A sensor in the machine measures incoming water
temperatures and controls the entry of water to achieve the
selected wash temperature. The hot and cold water valves
may open together or independantly.
