you turn the dial, the ‘Wash’ light will flash.
The flashing stops and the light goes out
when you press ‘START’.
The ‘End’ light will then flash as the machine
pumps out water in the drum to a safe level.
When the ‘End’ light stops flashing, you can
re-select the programme you want (you may
need to add detergent).
Press the ‘START’ button again to carry on.
If you do not want to make a new selection,
the ‘Door Locked’ indicator light will go out
and you can open the door.
Caution: The load and remaining water in
the drum may still be extremely hot.
During the wash, the
progress indicator
lights will show what
stage in the cycle the
programme has
reached.
A short time after the
programme has
finished the ‘Door
Locked’ indicator light
will go out and you
can open the door.
Return the pro-
gramme selector dial
to the ‘OFF’ position.
We also recommend
that you switch off the
electricity and water
supply.

Automatic Features...
Auto half load
Auto half load saves you time and money when washing smaller loads.
Water levels are automatically adjusted to cater for the different loads.
Unbalanced load warning
Your machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load. This will minimise excessive vibration and
prolong the life of the machine. Before each spin the machine ‘senses’ the load within the drum and if the machine considers the
load to be unbalanced, it will not automatically spin. Instead the machine will try to redistribute the load to achieve balance by
tumbling backwards and forwards. If it is unable to balance the load after the fifth attempt the machine will abort the spin process.
As an indicator to you that this has happened the ‘Final Spin’ indicator light will flash, to advise that no spin has been performed.
If this safety feature is encountered you can spin the load after first opening the door, redistributing the load and selecting a fast or
slow, spin only programme. In the case of small loads or single items you may try adding some extra items of a comparable size to
help balance the load.
