PRACTICAL WASHING HINTS
I.Cancelling and
changing the programme
III. Door interlock
IV. Power failure
(programme memory)
In order to stop the programme, press the button to
turn the washing machine off and on.
If the wrong programme has been set by mistake, it is
possible to change it: Firstly, stop the currently selected
programme by turning the washing machine off and on,
and select a different programme.
Change in the position of the knob without prior cancelling
of the program does not cause changes in the currently
running programme.
The washing machine is equipped with an interlock, which
makes it impossible to open the door of the appliance
during washing.
In order to open the door during the washing programme,
turn on the PAUSE function and , you should wait appro-
ximately 2 minutes.
CAUTION! If high temperature is maintained in the wa-
shing machine drum, the appliance may lock the door
until the water temperature drops to 60°C.
CAUTION! Before opening the door of the washing
machine check whether there is water in the drum.
If the washing machine is switched off or if there is power
failure, the currently running washing programme will not
be cancelled. It will be remembered and continued once
the power supply appears.
II. PAUSE function This function allows the programme to be stopped for
a moment by the user at any time, with a possibility to
open the door of the washing machine. In order to turn
on the PAUSE function, press the START/PAUSE button
during the washing programme for about 0.5 second – a
pictogram will start to pulsate, and
another pictogram will appear.
In order to return to the washing programme, press the
START/PAUSE button again – the pictogram will stop
pulsating and the pictogram will disappear.
The PAUSE function causes the automatic correction of
the time anticipated to nish washing.

Pralka 13
V. Control elements of the washing machine
Roughly estimated time until the end of a washing cycle
Time displayed on the clock is only a forecast and may be different from the real
washing time, depending on water temperature and pressure, load size and amount
of dosed washing powder. Time is automatically updated during washing; momentary
stoppages and leaps of time are permissible.
Spin rotations adjustment
Pushing the button “spin rotations” causes cyclic changes in the settings. The following
settings of rotations are possible:
l For cotton, cotton spinning, cotton rinsing programmes: 1400, 1300, 1200, 1100,
1000, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 100
l For Everyday programme: 1000, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 100
l For Synthetics, Super Short, Delicate, Wool, Delicate Rinsing, Delicate Spinning
600, 500, 400, 100
The more delicate is the fabric, the lower spin rotations should be set. The scope of
regulation of the Spin rotations is specied in the “Washing programmes table”.
PRACTICAL WASHING HINTS
l”Extra rinse” or
It adds one ( ) or more ( ) rinses to the selected washing programme.
This function is particularly useful in the case of water of high hardness. It improves
effectiveness of rinsing, but increases water consumption. This function is recom-
mended while washing clothes for allergy sufferers.
l„Eco”
It shortens the washing time by about 30% and reduces the general number of
rinsing cycles by one. This function is useful in the case of washing lightly soiled
clothes. Less washing agents are applied and power and water are saved. An
exemplary washing time with the activated “ECO” function:
l For EVERYDAY programme – 32 min.
l For MANUAL programme – 83 min.

PRACTICAL WASHING HINTS
l“Easy iron”
After the last spin, the drum of the washing machine performs additional movements
for a few minutes, reducing the creases. The speed of spinning is automatically
reduced to 800 rotations.
l“Spin off ”
The washing machine does not spin after washing and rinsing. The function is ap-
plicable in the case of washing the fabrics, for which spinning is not recommended
by the manufacturer. Water will just be pumped out after washing.
l“Stop with water”
We recommend the use of the STOP WITH WATER option for silk, wool and other
delicate fabrics.
In the case of starting the STOP WITH WATER function or after nishing some
washing programmes, the water from the last spin remains in the washing machine
drum.
In order to take out the clothes from the washing machine
-start the PUMP OUT programme or
-start the DRY-SPIN programme
CAUTION! If any of these programmes is not started, the water will spill out of the
washing machine when opening the door.
l“Child lock”
The function is activated by pushing two buttons simultaneously. It causes all the
remaining buttons to be blocked. The washing machine may be turned off by means
of the button, but when the appliance is turned on again, it will still be locked.
The washing machine may be unlocked by the pressing the two buttons again.
l“Quiet wash”
The function is useful, if we want to avoid excessive noise during washing (e.g.
at late night hours). It is activated by pushing 2 buttons and causes the omission
of spins, except for the last one. After the last rinsing is completed, the appliance
leaves water in the drum and moves to the PAUSE state.
The user (e.g. next day in the morning), starts the last rinsing with the previously
set spin rotations using the START button.

Pralka 15
PRACTICAL WASHING HINTS
DELAYED WASH
This function enables pre-programming of the washing machine, so that the programme could
be started automatically at a later userdened time (from 0.5 to 24 hours). Within 0.5 to 3
hours, it is possible to set the delay time every 30 minutes. Within 3-24 hours it is possible
to set the delay time every hour. If the delayed wash is switched on at the time when 0:00
is ashing, push the START button once again until the time when instead of the ashing
zeroes the standard value 00:30 specifying the wash delay appears. Each time the button
is pushed, the delay is prolonged by 30 minutes or one hour. The maximal delay of the start
amounts to 24h. After 5 seconds from the last push of the button, the washing machine starts
counting the delay time.
CAUTION! If power failure occurs during the delay time count, the function will be automa-
tically cancelled and the washing machine will not be in operation. Switch it on manually or
set the delay time again!
SIGNALLING THE CHANGED POSITION OF THE PROGRAMME SELECTOR
If the present position of the knob is different than the recently remembered programme, the
“Pxx” symbol is indicated on the “time” display, where xx means the number of the remembered
programme. If the position of the knob and the number of the remembered programmed are
correct, the time left till the end of the wash is shown on the display.
ENDING THE WASHING PROGRAMME
After the washing programme is completed, the appliance signals this fact by the appearance
of the word “END” on the display.

PRACTICAL WASHING HINTS
VI. Load Maximal drum capacity:
l5.0 kg for washing machines of AWSN type
l6.0 kg for washing machines of AWCN type
Load the clothes into the drum of the washing machine following the
recommendations stated below:
lcotton – full drum (do not force clothes into the drum, as it worsens
the quality of wash)
lsynthetics – max. 1/2 of the drum
lwool, silk, delicate fabrics – 1/3 of the drum
Caution! Do not overload the washing machine! Overloading the
washing machine may cause damage to the laundry!
VII. Even load
distribution control
The electronic control device includes a load distribution control sys-
tem. In the event that the system detects uneven distribution of load
in the drum, the washing machine will try to relocate it. Sometimes
the trials will not be sufcient for the proper location of the clothes (in
the case of frotte dressing gowns washed with other types of clothes,
ball-shaped sheets which closes several objects inside it). The system
may react in the following way:
lit may accept the uneven distribution of clothes but will decrease
the spin speed
lit may not allow spinning as the clothes are distributed unevenly.)
In both cases, after the wash is over, open the door of the washing
machine, place the laundry manually, close the door and select the
spin programme again.
