heavy soil
The heavy soil option is recommended
for use ONLY for heavily soiled
clothes that require the removal of
tough, ground-in protien-based
stains. It is NOT recommended to use
the heavy soil option with other cycles
when laundering normal or lightly soiled
clothes.
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
status (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 extra
rinse) 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 while a program is
running.
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 woolCare 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. extra rinse"
i You may notice the effects of
these items in more or less time
required for the selected program
to complete. This is also shown in
changes to the displayed time
when these items occur during 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.
