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.
ECO
e
This option (found only on the 500
Plus Series) reduces the amount of
energy used for the washing program
by reducing the wash temperature and
increasing the washing time. This
option is not available for cold
programs.
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 is 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
