Washing

Page 19 highlights

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 program 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 Rinse Plus) 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/deactivate the acoustic signal during a cycle. 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. Rinse plus" 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. Washing q Turn on the water taps. q Turn the program selector to the desired program. q Load the washing machine and close the door. The Start/Pause indicator light flashes (red). q If necessary, press the button(s) for additional option(s). The indicator light of the selected button is lit (red). i If an incorrect combination was inadvertently selected, the indicator light of the selected button is turned off. 19

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
program
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
Rinse
Plus)
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/deactivate
the
acoustic
signal
during
a
cycle.
Indicator
light
above
the
²Start/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
²Auto
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.
²Rinse
plus"
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.

the
water
taps.
q
Turn
the
program
selector
to
the
desired

and
close
the
door.
The
Start/Pause
indicator
light
flashes
(red).
q
If
necessary,
press
the
button(s)
for
additional
option(s).
The
indicator
light
of
