What is the program description for Rinse+Spin?

This program is defaulted to two rinses and spin.

How should I choose the detergents and additives in STEP 4?

Always choose highly efficient detergents that do not foam and which are intended for front-loading appliances. The choice of detergent depends on the type, soil level, laundry color, and washing temperature. White residues (streaks etc.) on black laundry may appear if you are using modern phosphate-free detergents. In such case, brush the streaks and use a liquid detergent. Only use detergent intended for appliances for household use. Descaling agents may damage the appliance. Do not use solvents. Do not wash the clothes that were cleaned with solvents or flammable substances. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions on detergent dosing. Excessive amounts of detergent may result in foaming that in turn impairs washing efficiency. If the appliance senses excessive foaming, it may prevent the spin cycle from taking place. If the amount of detergent is too small, the laundry may no longer be white after a while. It could also result in the accumulation of limescale in the drum and the pipes. Maximum amount of laundry for washing and drying, in kg (for the cotton program), is indicated on the rating plate fitted under the appliance door. Maximum or nominal load applies to laundry prepared pursuant to the IEC 60456 standard. For better washing effect, we recommend loading the drum to 2/3 when using the cotton programs.

When can I adjust the additional settings and functions?

The additional settings and functions can only be set in the standby mode of the applicable program, that is, before the program starts running, and cannot be selected after the program runs.

How do I adjust the settings?

Adjust the settings by pressing the relevant function button (before pressing the START/PAUSE button). Activate/deactivate the functions by pressing the desired function (before pressing the START/PAUSE button). Certain settings cannot be selected with some programs. Such settings will not be lit, and when the corresponding button is pressed, an acoustic signal will be emitted and the button will flash (see FUNCTION TABLE).

What is the function of Steam *Connect?

It is divided into two modes: “press and hold” and “press briefly”. Press briefly: Add “Steam” function, press twice to cancel the function, and cycle in sequence. Press and hold: Connect the Wi-Fi of the washing machine, the control panel symbol flashes, and then conduct the networking operation. See the networking description for the specific networking method.

What is the function of Quicker?

After pressing this function key, the program time will be shortened by setting, and press it again, the program time will be increased back to the original setting. After the program is started, the indicator is always on. When this function is selected, the main wash time or the number of rinsing times will be reduced. Weighing will be canceled after triggering this function, weighing will be resumed if the function is canceled.

What is the function of Pre Wash?

Press and hold: Increase the “Prewash” function, press twice to cancel the function, and cycle in sequence. 1. Select this function to add a Pre Wash program before the Main Wash stage. 2. After the program is started, the indicator remains on until the end of the Pre Wash program. After the end of Pre Wash, the indicator will off.

How do you change the temperature for the selected program?

Each program has a preset temperature that can be changed by pressing the position (4) TEMP. (WASHING TEMPERATURE). (– indicates cold wash) The temperature is displayed on the display unit above the button.

How do you adjust the spinning rate?

With preset or selected spinning rate, the selected spinning rate will be lit on the display unit. If you select draining without spinning, the O will appear on the display unit.

When can the Extra Rinse function be selected?

This function can be selected in standby state and cannot be changed after startup.

What happens after the Extra Rinse function is selected in the standby state?

The number of Extra Rinse is shown, which may be used a maximum of three times. In addition, the default rinsing times plus the number of Extra Rinse cannot exceed five times.

What happens to the indicator light after the program is started?

The indicator is always on.

How do you set the Delay End time?

Press the Delay End key. This key is only valid in standby mode.

How does the Delay End function work?

After the Delay End function is selected, each time the Delay End key is pressed, the time increases by 1 h. If the program time before the Delay End does not meet the integer multiple of 1 h, then the first Delay End will make up the integer multiple of 1 h. And after that, each time the Delay End key is pressed, the time increases by 1 h. After the Delay End time is set up to 24h, the Delay End key can be pressed again to cancel this setting. If you turn the knob to select another program or press other keys (including invalid keys, the principle is that any key that affects the washing process will cancel the Delay End program; however, Child Lock, Quiet, and remote control permission will not cancel the Delay End program) after the Delay End function is set and before the program starts running, the current Delay End program will be cancelled.

What is the Delay End time?

The Delay End time is the end time, that is, it includes the washing time, so the Delay End time must be greater than the washing time.

Can you give an example of how the Delay End time works?

For example, if the total time of the currently selected program is 2:28, the selection range of Delay End time is 3-24 hours. That means, the display changes from 2:28 to 3:00, 4:00, … , 9:00, h:10, … , h:21 to h:24 in order. After the Delay End program starts, the time display will change from h:24, h:23, … , h:10, 9:59, 9:58, … , until after the washing program starts to run, at which time the display shows 2:28. This judgment condition also applies to the automatic weighing time function. When the display only shows the hour, the display shows the remaining time of the Delay End program with the rounding method. (e.g. For 21:59, it still shows 21 hours.)

When is the Clock icon"@" on?

When the Delay End function is being selected (set), the Clock icon “@” is always on.

When does the Clock icon"@" flash?

When the Delay End program is running, the Clock icon"@" flashes.

What does the START/PAUSE button control?

It controls the washing machine from the standby state to the program running state, or from the program running state to the program pausing state.

What happens when you press the START/PAUSE button in standby mode?

The washing machine switches to door locking mode. If the door is unlocked, the washing machine cannot start the program. At the same time, the door locking error alarm will occur.

What happens after setting the Preset function, and pressing the START/PAUSE key in standby state?

If the door is normally locked, the washing machine will switch to the Preset running state. If it is not locked, the washing machine will switch to the abnormal state and the door locking error alarm will occur.

What happens if the program is switched from the running state to the pausing state?

The program will remain in the stopped position and wait for the user to press this key again to switch to the running state of the program. When the program switched from the Spin state to the program pausing state and then enters the program running state again, the program will start from the initial position of the Spin program.

How do you switch from abnormal state to program running state?

Press the START/PAUSE button. This abnormal state applies only to alarm exceptions that can be canceled.

Under what conditions will the door unlock automatically when the washing machine is paused?

• The water level is lower than the water level for opening the door
• The sensor temperature in the drum is lower than 50°C
• The motor speed is 0

What happens if the unlocking conditions above are not met?

There will be no action.

Can the set parameters be adjusted after starting the washing machine?

No.

What does the POWER button control?

It controls the washing machine to switch between “shutdown state” and “standby state”. In the shutdown state, all display and output are turned off.

What is the shutdown response time when the power key is pressed continuously?

2s.
