YOUR ELECTRONIC WASHING MACHINE

GB

This washing machine is equipped with all-electronic control, which opens up a host of possibilities for 
you. Amongst others, these include: precise determination of load, Dynamic-Sense Technology
imbalance detection and correction system, fast programme changing, accurate programme sequence 
indicator, start delay, soaking, safety feature “intelligent (anti-flood) Water Stop system”.

The load determining facility evaluates the laundry load at the start of the wash cycle and 
optimises the washing procedure accordingly. The machine adapts automatically to the prevailing 
circumstances: if you are washing a minimum load, the programme carries out only two rinse cycles 
during the cotton and synthetics programmes, while keeping the rinse results very good. You save 
on water, energy and time as a result.

Thanks to its Dynamic-Sense Technology the appliance adapts optimally to the prevailing 
circumstances, achieving favourable consumption figures even in the case of small loads. Water 
supply temperature and pressure, quantity of water and degree of loading, are the parameters taken 
into account. The progamme duration is influenced by these factors. This is checked and updated 
at particular stages of the programme. Consequently, the programme duration can vary by up to 60 
minutes.

The imbalance detection and correction system protects your washing machine if the 
imbalance is too great on initiating a spin cycle. This may occur with a badly distributed load or in 
the case of single large laundry item. The laundry is re-distributed and the spin speed is not 
increased until satisfactory laundry distribution has been achieved. 

If you happen to have selected the wrong programme, you can quickly change programme at any 
time, without needing to add new detergent. Select the desired programme and start the 
appliance. The new program resumes the wash programme at the same stage at which the 
preceding one was interrupted.

The accurate sequence indicator shows what stage of the programme has been reached by 
LED indicators coming on: after starting the programme, the programme sequence indicator 
moves from left to right passing through “Wash”, “Rinse”, “Spin”. Once the current stage of the 
programme has been completed that LED indicator goes out. 

The washing process is subdivided into three phases which corresponds to the three wash LEDs:
1. Enzyme phase: at low temperature, organic soiling such as e.g. blood, milk and egg are 

dissolved.

2. Heating-up phase: the water is heated up to the selected washing temperature.
3. Washing phase: the laundry is washed and, if the temperature is raised, whitened.

Using the “Start Delay” option (if present) you can select the programme start time from 1 to 19 
hours in advance. You can set the programme start time so that the laundry will be completed by a 
particular time, thus allowing you to take advantage of favourable lower electricity tariffs at night.

In order to soak particularly heavily soiled colourfast laundry, select the “Coloured” programme and, 
once the water has been fed in, press the “Start/Pause” button. The programme is interrupted and 
you can leave the laundry to soak as long as you want.
You can continue the programme by pressing the “Start/Pause” button once again.

Depending on the washing machine type, it may be equipped with the anti-flood safety feature 
intelligent Water Stop system”: Even while switched off your washing machine is able to detect 
water leakage and brings this to your attention with an audible alarm.
