Ecological hints To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints: Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of your water supply, the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling. A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry. In the interest of the environment Materials marked with the symbol recyclable. are Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance. When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door lock device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside. Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper! Important Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin. If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because, it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working". 5 Description of the Appliance Programme selector dial Spin speed selector dial Pushbuttons Control panel Pilot light Lid Handle for opening lid Lever for castors Trap door for lint filter Detergent Dispenser 1 2 3 Detergent compartment for pre-wash .

By pressing the heavy soil button, the machine will take in cold water only on programmes with a water temperature of 50°-60°-95° (programmes B - C and J). These would normally be hot or hot and cold. The water is then gradually heated to the required temperature. The effect is to improve the overall wash performance, particularly on biological stains such as egg, blood and grass stains, and heavily soiled fabrics, since the longer "cool-soak" phase as the water heats up provides the right conditions for the powder and the water temperature to interact, and achieve the best possible results. 4 Rinse Hold Button Press this button to leave the water in the drum when the wash cycle has finished. This option is available on cotton and synthetics wash programmes. The garments are left suspended in water after the final rinse which helps to prevent creasing.
