Wash programmes
To select a programme to suit your individual requirements use the following series of tables, explaining the wash programme buttons and programme details. For each wash programme and option(s) selected the machine automatically calculates the estimated programme length `Time to End'. This is displayed in hours and minutes shortly after the wash programme temperature has been displayed. The `Time to End' will then remain lit throughout the wash programme and counts down to the end of the programme. Note: These estimated programme times are dependant on the temperatures of the incoming water supply and the option(s) selected. The wash programme temperature will be illuminated in the display window followed by the spin speed. After a few seconds the display window will return to the `Time to End' showing the remaining programme length. If you decide the selected programme does not suit your requirements you can change the programme, see previous page `To change a programme'. PROGRAMMES & OPTIONS
