D Prog^ramme selector dial and
start/stop knob
The selector dial is marked with letters
corresponding to those on the chart.
To set the machine to the correct
programme (see programme chart and
table on pages 12-15) push the dial in
and turn it clockwise until the letter you
want coincides exactly with the red
pointer. Never attempt to turn the
control dial in an anti-clockwise direction.
To start the machine, pull out the knob.
If the knob does not come out easily
check that the pointer is in line with the
selected letter — if it is not, reset the
dial.
To stop the machine during a cycle, push
the dial in. At the end of the programme
push the dial in and the pilot light will
go out. The machine will have stopped
automatically. The red line on the dial
indicates an energetic wash programme.
The blue line on the dial indicates a
gentle wash programme.
H Drain filter
This is situated behind the small flap
door at the base of the cabinet. It will
need cleaning from time to time.
(See pages 21-22).
The washing programmes
The washing machine has 11
programmes and 8 additional
programmes such as «rinse» or «spin
only» (see charts pages 12-15). Each
washing programme is designed for a
specific type of fabric, for example
cotton, nylon, mixed fabrics such as
poly cotton, etc. They follow the
International Textile Care Labelling Code
(ITCLC) which is used for wash labels on
garments and household linen as well as
on washing powder packets. This makes
it simple to choose the right programme
for the fabric you are washing.
The Energetic wash cycle for robust
fabrics (B-F) are completely automatic,
taking the clothes through washing,
rinsing, spinning and draining.
The Gentle wash cycles (L-Q) are for
minimum iron, drip diy and delicate
fabrics. The machine stops after the last
rinse before the water draining and
spinning. The clothes are left suspended
in water to prevent them becoming
creased by remaining in the bottom of
the wash tub in a damp state after
spinning. To complete the cycle, turn the
programme selector dial to cycle V for
water draining followed by a short spin,
or to cycle Z for drain only if you are
washing drip diy articles.
The woollens programme (R) and quick
wash programme (S) are both automatic,
taking the clothes through washing,
rinsing, spinning and draining.
