Automatic Features
Auto half load
Auto half load saves you time and money when washing smaller loads. Water levels are automatically adjusted
to cater for the different loads.
Unbalanced load warning
Your machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load. This will minimise
excessive vibration and prolong the life of the machine.
Before each spin the machine ‘senses’ the load within the drum and if the machine considers the load to be
unbalanced, it will not automatically spin. Instead the machine will try to redistribute the load to achieve
balance by tumbling backwards and forwards. If it is unable to balance the load after the fifth attempt the
machine will abort the spin process and the load will still be wet at the end of the programme.
If this safety feature is encountered you can spin the load after first opening the door, redistributing the load
and reselecting a fast or slow spin programme. In the case of small loads or single items you may try adding
some extra items of a comparable size to help balance the load.
