Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior surfaces of the
appliance.

Intelligent Care:

specific problems on the Infobubble™ display.
Temperature Sensed Fill:
Makes the best use of the existing hot water supply, saving energy,
time and money.

Reduces creasing on any wash programme by gradually reducing the
water temperature towards the end of the wash programme.
Profile Spin:
Less water, less creasing and less ironing. Gradually steps up the spin
speed for the most efficient water extraction.
Pulse Spin:
Reduces wear and tear on your laundry. A long, steady spin is
followed by a 30 second burst at the maximum speed for your
machine, to enable safer, more efficient water extraction.
Dry Spin:
There will be a 2 minute spin about 20 minutes after the drying
programme has started; this improves the drying performance.

& Auto Dry Programme for synthetic fabrics.
Infobubble™ Display:
The Infobubble™ displays your selected wash programme, optional
wash features selected and shows you exactly where you are in the
washing cycle.
Maintenance Wash:
We recommend a maintenance wash 2 or 3 times a year. to avoid a build
up of greasy deposits and water hardness residue.
Simply run wash programme ‘C’ without any laundry in the drum, using
the usual amount of detergent.
Cleaning the Door Bowl:
Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly with a soft cloth.
A build up of soap powder and water hardness residue may result in
water leaking from the door.
