Hotpoint WMTL80 - Manual (Page 14)

Programme Reset
Your machine has an electronic control, which memorises the programme is selected. This will
allow the machine to continue the selected programme from where it was interrupted, for
instance after a power cut.
Lid Open Safety Devices
Once the washing cycle starts, the Lid Locked indicator light will come on and the lid of your
machine is locked. It will stay locked throughout the selected programme.
When the cycle has finished the Mains On/Off indicator light will flash, the lid will still be locked.
Wait for approximately 2 minutes, the Lid Locked indicator light will go out and the lid can be
opened.
Spinning Safety Device
Your appliance has an electronic Auto Balance Control (ABC) which enables the
spin cycle to be run at high speed with well-distributed loads.
Before each spin cycle the ABC system sets the drum to revolve in both clockwise
and anti-clockwsie directions in order to distribute the load evenly and start the
spin cycle off gently.
With some loads the ABC system may detect an unbalanced load, in which case
the spin speed is automatically reduced to see if this resolves the problem - In
this case the load will come out wetter than usual.
If the load is still unable to spin at the reduced speed the ABC system will cancel
the spin cycle - In this case, open the drum, redistribute the clothes and set a
spin cycle programme.
