Note:
Sometimes the water level goes to High even for a low load of clothes. This is a safety measure to prevent •
cloth damage in case of low voltage.
If there is water already in the wash tub, the machine will automatically set the water level as ‘Very High’. In •
addition, if wet clothes are put into the washer, higher water level will be chosen.
To ensure best wash performance short soak is inbuilt in every wash process.•
In case of ‘wool’ cycle the machine automatically lls the tub up to the ‘Very High’ water level. This ensures •
that your precious woolen fabrics are always washed gently.
Use dissolved detergent with warm water to prevent the detergent clumping•

Program Guide - Model LSA1100
For best fabric care, choose the program that best ts the load being washed.
**The actual running time can deviate from the values in the table, because it takes into account the operating conditions and
options applicable at that time. Fill and drain time is not a part of estimated duration.
6th sense automatically calculates timing based on the wash load.
Based on the voltage and water level of each program, cycle time may vary and will not match with the display time.
