WASHER FEATURES
On
-
Off Button
After the clothes have been loaded and the desired water
temperature and cycle selected, pressing
the ON
-
OFF
button causes the cycle to begin.
On/Off Water Saver Button
This button varies the amount of water used during your
wash cycle. Selecting “Low” is recommended when
doing partial loads of laundry. Besides using less water,
the “Low” setting r
equires less energy and detergent
resulting in additional wash economy.
Since the “Low” setting uses less water you should
always select the “High” setting when doing full loads or
heavy articles of laundry to ensure proper washing.
NOTE:
Be sure to
reduce the amount of detergent used
during economy (low water) washes.
NOTE:
Do not use the “Low” water setting when
was
h
ing knits & woolens or delicate clothing, or when
doing a full load of laundry.
Medium/High Spin Button
When the button is press
ed, the spin speed will be
reduced from high to low during the regular cycle.
High Heat Half/Heat Button
When this button
is pressed, the half heat drying
te
m
perature is obtained. Release for maximum heat. Half
heat should only be used with delicate fabrics.
Wash Timer
Enables the ope
rator to select the wash program required
according to the type of fabric and degree of soiling.
Refer to the program chart on
page 10.
Water Cycle Selector
Allows operator to select the temperature of the wash/
rinse water.
Drying Timer
This control a
llows you to preset the drying time you
want according to your requirements which may be
"damp dry", "ready for ironing" or "dry" ready for pu
t-
ting away. The drying time depends largely on the type
of material (some fibers absorb more water than others),
the dampness of
the articles when the drying is started
and the amount of laundry. Table napkins, towels, and
similar (rather thick) articles wi
ll take a longer time to
dry. After all the controls have been correctly set, the
dryer will start to operate as soon as you clo
se the door.
During operation the Drying Timer will gradually return
to the "Stop" position "O". The final 12 minutes of the
drying cycle is the cooling phase. At the end of this
coo
l
ing phase it will automatically switch itself off.
Cool Drying Period
Towards the end of the tumble
-
drying cycle there is a
cool drying period which lasts about 12 minutes.
The heater is off during this period, while the machine
continues to tumble.
When setting a wash/dry cycle the dryer pre
-
heats the
drum during the final spin on all cycles.
The cooling feature helps minim
ize creasing, and is
particularly important with synthetic fabrics. It is also
important to cool snaps, zippers, buttons and
the machine
interior. Practice will soon tell you just how much drying
time to allow to get the effect you want.
Drain Screen
T
he removable drain screen which protects the pump
from lint and foreign matter needs to be cleaned period
i-
cally. How often will depend on your wash load, e.g.
cotton towels cause more lint to collect than nylon loads.
Open the servic
e door by pressing on the left hand side.
Turn drain screen counter
-
clockwise and pull the drain
screen out. Have a cloth or sha
llow tray under the drain
screen housing, as a small quantity of water may run out.
You may find it helpful to first set the mac
hine to spin,
allow the unit to start, then remove the drain screen once
unit starts. This procedure reduces the amount of water
released.
Clean the screen under running water to help remove any
lint. Replace the screen by sliding back into the housing
wit
hin 3 minutes. Lastly turn clockwise to secure.
Under no circumstances should the drain screen be
removed while the machine is f
ull of water.
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser is designed so detergent,
additives and bleach will flush aut
omatically into your
machine.
Use only 1 to 2 tablespoons of powder detergent or liquid
equivalent.
It is divided into 4 compar
tments, for cold wash, hot
wash, detergents, additives (i.e. fabric softeners) and
bleach.
At the end of the wash program, any r
emaining liquids
will be automatically siphoned out leaving the dispenser
ready for the next wash.
A small amount of water may
remain in compartment
"C" and/or "D" at the end of the wash program. This can
easily be removed by pouring a small additional am
ount
of water into this compartment, which allows the siphon
to operate and draw all the water into the machine.
Note:
The deter
gent dispenser drawer and housing
should be cleaned to prevent a build up of detergent and
fabric softener. This dispenser drawe
r is easily removed
by pulling out. Rinse it under the tap, dry and replace.
