AUTOMATIC FEATURES
Auto Half Load
Auto half load adjusts the amount of water in the wash load depending on the absorbency of
garments in the wash load.
Fabric Conditioner Dispensing
Dispensing of fabric conditioner is achieved by energising both the Pre-Wash and Main Wash
cold valves
Out of Balance Protection
The machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent spinning with an unbalanced load. A calculation
via the motor tacho and control board detects the current drawn by the motor during
distribution.
Before each spin, the controls senses the load within the drum and if the load is calculated to be
out of balance the machine will not automatically spin to the full speed.
There are two levels of out of balance, level 1 @ 480 grams and level 2 @ 1030 grams.
If the out of balance is below level 1 the machine will spin at full speed, if between level 1 and
level 2 the machine will spin at the reduced speed of 600 rpm and above level 2 spin at reduced
speed of 400 rpm. There are 15 attempts at level 1 with 57 attempts in total, this being the same
for both cotton and synthetic spins.
The wool spin has one level of out of balance @ 1.8Kg. The controls will make three attempts to
achieve a balance, if after three attempts a balance is not achieved; the spin is reduced to a
speed of 90 rpm.
