Control Panel
Wash program selection knob
This control dial allows you to select the wash program of your choice.
Start/Stop button
Once a wash program has been selected, this button should be pressed to start the wash cycle.
Program option button
This button needs to be pressed after a wash program has been selected, but before the wash program has been
started. If you select a different wash cycle after pressing a program option, it will need to be reselected.
Intensive wash This function should be selected if you are washing heavily soiled, stained clothes. It achieves a
better level of wash performance by extending the wash program that you have selected.
Easy iron This function helps to prevent garments from creasing by carrying out a program where the rotation of the
drum will fluff out garments, after the spin cycle has completed. This should make the garments easier to iron.
Extra rinse This function increases the level of the final rinse for the selected wash program. This should be selected
if large loads are being washed or the garments belong to somebody who has sensitive skin. This option will increase
the amount of water the appliance uses.

•To stop a wash programme once a wash cycle is in progress, you should turn the programme selection dial.

Spin speed selection dial
•To allow your washer dryer to automatically select the highest spin speed for the wash programme that you have
selected, you should turn the spin speed selection dial to 1100rpm.

selection dial.
•Turn the wash programme selection dial to the wash programme that you want to use.

programme that you have selected.

spin or drain programme.
•Important: You must do this before opening the door of the appliance.
•This feature is useful if you are not going to be present when the wash cycle completes, as it will lessen the
chance of the garments becoming creased.
•Please note that if you suspend the clothes in water, you must select a spin or drain programme and not just
cancel the programme. Otherwise you could open the door whilst there is still water in the drum. (You should
ensure that the garments you are washing are suitable for suspending in water before selecting this option.
Garments should not be suspended in water for a prolonged period.)
