Option buttons
Bleach
When this button is pressed, a bleach
cycle will be added to the selected
cycle.
The washing cycle time is extended
accordingly.
Rinse Plus
When this button is pressed, an
additional rinsing cycle will be added to
the selected cycle.
Washing cycle time is extended
accordingly.
Heavy duty
The Heavy duty option is
recommended for use ONLY for
heavily soiled clothes that require
the removal of tough, ground-in
protein-based stains. It is NOT
recommended to use the Heavy duty
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.

statuses (e.g. start/end of program and
operating faults.)

Indicator light above the

The indicator light conveys the
following information:
- Indicator light flashing red:
Program can be started. Adding
laundry is possible.

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.
