PROGRAMMES AND OPTIONS
Wash programmes
To select a programme to suit your individual requirements use the following series of tables, explaining the wash programme buttons and programme details. For each wash programme and option(s) selected the machine automatically calculates the estimated programme length `Time to End'. This is displayed in hours and minutes shortly after the wash programme temperature has been displayed. The `Time to End' will then remain lit throughout the wash programme and counts down to the end of the programme. Note: These estimated programme times are dependant on the temperature and pressure of the incoming water supply, the option(s) selected and the load being washed. They may, therefore change during the fill stages of each programme to take into account the extra heating or filling time required. This feature allows you to check the running wash programme: To view the temperature of the selected programme - Press the `Variable Temperature' button once. To view the spin speed of the selected programme - Press the `Variable Spin Speed' button once. After a few seconds the display window will return to the `Time to End' showing the remaining programme length. If you decide the selected programme does not suit your requirements you can change the programme, see previous page `To change a programme'.

Choosing an option button The features listed below are all available with any wash programme selected. Stored Programme This option allows you to store your favourite programme for when you next want to use it. Press the `STORED' button twice and the programme will be stored for future use. `Saving favourite' in the display window will remain steady in the display for 2 seconds after it has been saved. To retrieve and use a stored programme: Press the `STORED' button, your favourite programme will appear on the display. [. . . ] Did you reduce the spin speed of the selected programme using the `Spin' option control button? We have designed the machine to release steam from the dispenser drawer during hot washes, so don't worry. If you have used the wrong type of detergent, flush out your machine by choosing a rinse programme. If so you may need a cold fill adaptor to run your machine as cold fill only.
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, non-removal of transit bolts or packaging, leaks from household pipework, loose or blocked fill and drain hoses. [. . . ]
