Automatic feature
Unbalance load detection
The washing machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent it from spinning to fast with an unbalanced load.
When an unbalanced load is detected, the washing machine will attempt to redistribute the load in order to balance it
evenly to achieve full spin speed.
If this is not possible and an unbalanced load remains the spin speed will be reduced, depending on the amount of
unbalanced detected. This is to prevent the machine from damaging itself or its surroundings and to prevent excessive
noise from the washing machine.
If the spin result is unsatisfactory following a reduced spin speed attempt to rectify the unbalanced load, then on
completion of the program the load can be redistributed evenly in the drum by hand. Select a spin cycle.
Note: Do not attempt to spin heavy or absorbent single items as the machine cannot distribute these evenly.
If you need to wash a single item you will need to add some other items as ballast to allow the machine to
distribute the load evenly throughout the drum.
