4 / PROGRAMMING YOUR MACHINE
•DETAILS OF THE OPTIONS
•Prewash
Specially designed for heavily soiled washing (mud, blood, etc.).
A specific initial agitation in cold water precedes a phase of heating to
30°C.
This agitation phase in cold water enables the particles soiling the washing
to be removed before the water is heated.
Important :
Detergent must be placed in the " " container in the products
box.
•Anti-creasing
(depending on the model)
This avoids the washing creasing and makes it easier to iron.
•Intensive
(depending on the model)
This function enables you to handle so-called
“difficult” stubborn stains
•Extra rinse
"Especially for sensitive and allergic skin": adds an extra rinse to the
washing cycle.
•Drip dry
Select this option if you just want to drip dry your washing
.
If you programme “Drip dry”, the cycle will end with a gentle spin at
100 rpm.
•Full drum stop
(depending on the model)
This function enables you to remove the washing from your machine
before the spin phase or to delay this phase with you washing remaining
in water to prevent creasing.
NB : When the machine is stopped with the tub full of water, the
“Rinse/Spin”
cycle progress light flashes.
Then:
— If you want to drain after spinning, use the selector
to choose a
suitable spin speed for your type of washing.
The programme will end automatically.
— If you just want to drain, turn the selector
to “Drip Dry” (position
).
•MODIFYING A WASHING PROGRAMME
•During programming:
Anything can be changed before the “Start/Pause" button
is
pressed.
•After the cycle has started:
You can change the type of textile (for example, switch from “COTTON”
to “SYNTHETICS”, etc.). In this case, check that the options you previously
selected are still there.
You must confirm your new selection by pressing the “Start/Pause"
button .
The machine may then possibly drain off some of its water.
•Throughout the cycle:
Depending on your model, the following changes are possible without
pressing the “Start/Pause" button
.
— You can change the temperature for the same type of textile.
NB: If the temperature achieved by the washing cycle is higher than your
new selection, heating the water stops immediately and the cycle
continues.
— You can alter the spin speed (
) throughout the cycle.
— You can select “Drip Dry”
and “Full drum stop”
throughout the
washing phase.
— You can activate the “Extra rinse”
option until rinsing starts (until
the “Rinse/Spin” cycle progress light
illuminates).
— You can deactivate all the options throughout the cycle provided
that their action has not already finished.
•When the cycle is over:
When the “Stop”
light is permanently lit, you can programme a new
cycle without having to reset the selector
to the “0” position.
For this, all you have to do is turn one of the selectors or press one of
the buttons.
The “Wash”
light starts to flash.
The machine is then ready to be reprogrammed.
•AUTOMATIC SAFETY SYSTEMS
•Lid opening safety system:
As soon as washing commences, the lid on your machine is locked.
When the cycle is finished or when the machine has stopped with the
drum full of water, the lid unlocks.
If you wish to open the lid during the cycle, press button
briefly
and wait 1-2 minutes for the safety system to unlock the lid.
Important :
Depending on when you wish to open the lid during the cycle,
this time delay may be a little longer because a cooling down period
may also have to be included.
In fact, to avoid your being severely burnt, the lid safety system will
not open during the cycle unless the temperature inside the machine
is below a certain threshold.
•Water safety system:
During operation, constant control of the water prevents any overflows.
•Spin safety system:
Your washing machine is fitted with a safety system that restricts the
spin when poor load distribution is detected.
In this case, your washing may be insufficiently spun. Redistribute
your washing in the drum and programme a new spin.
•Anti-foam system:
You machine can detect when too much foam is being produced during
spinning.
At such times, spinning stops and the machine drains.
The cycle then restarts, adapting the spin rates and possibly adding
an extra rinse.
