Hoover 8144 D Clothes Dryer User Manual


 
Spin Speed
When a programme is selected the maximum spin speed allowed for that programme
appears on the display. Pressing the Spin Speed button will reduce the speed by
100rpm each time the button is pressed. The minimum speed is 400rpm, or continuing
to press the button will eliminate the final spin completely.
Delay Start
This indicator shows the number of hours time delay, once the delay start has been set.
Wash Cycle Time
When a programme is selected the display automatically shows the maximum cycle
duration for a full load, which can vary, depending on the options selected. Once the
programme has started you will be kept informed constantly of the time remaining to
the end of the wash.
Wash Length Indicator
Once the programme has been selected the indicator light will automatically show
the wash time set for that programme. Selecting a different wash time the relevant
indicator will light up.
KG Mode Indicator
Available on Cotton and Synthetic cycles, during the first 4 minutes of the cycle the
indicator lights and wash time will flash. This means the intelligent sensor is weighing
the laundry and will adjust the cycle time, water and electricity consumption
accordingly.
Wash Options
The following options should be chosen once the required programme has been
selected and BEFORE pressing the Start Pause button. The indicator light on each
option button will illuminate if that option has been selected.
Stain Blaster
The Stain Blaster option, selectable on all Cotton cycles, tackles stubborn stains by
maintaining wash temperatures throughout the programme and adjusting the spin
speed of the drum during critical stages of the wash and rinse cycles. Using this
special programme will increase the wash efficiency without increasing the length of
your wash programme.
Sensitive Care
The Sensitive Care option washes your clothes in a deeper than normal water level to
provide gentler washing for especially delicate fabrics, while detergent is removed
thoroughly with five extra rinses. Perfect for people with delicate skin, this option can
be selected on all Cotton and Synthetic cycles.
This option does not need to be selected on the Delicate, Woollen or Silk programmes,
as it is already an integrated part of the wash cycles.
Delay Start
This option allows you to delay the start of your wash cycle by up to 24 hours. By
pressing the Delay Start button, the time delay will be shown on the display (h00). This
will increase in one-hour intervals each time the Delay Start button is pressed.
Continue to press the button until the required time is reached, then press the Start
Pause button to activate the machine. The machine will start its cycle once the required
number of hours has passed.
To cancel the Delay Start option, press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the
display shows the settings for the selected programme. To start this programme, press
the Start Pause button. To cancel the process, turn the Programme Selector to the OFF
position and then select another programme.
Temperature
When a programme is selected the relevant indicator will light up to show the
recommended wash temperature. The Temperature button can be used to decrease or
increase the temperature of your chosen wash cycle. Each time the button is pressed,
the new temperature level is shown on the Wash Temperature Indicator.
Spin Speed
The spin cycle is used to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without
damaging your clothes. The recommended spin speed for each programme is already
set to the highest level for that chosen programme. By pressing the Spin Speed button
you can reduce the spin speed in 100rpm intervals.
To cancel the spin cycle altogether, set the spin speed to 0.
It is not possible to select a spin speed higher than that suitable for the programme
selected. This feature is designed to avoid damage to your clothes.
It is possible to modify the spin speed at any time without stopping or pausing the
machine.
