4.2.8 Displayed Programme Duration
You can view the programme duration on the display of your machine while selecting a programme.
Depending on the amount of laundry you have loaded into your machine, foaming, unbalanced load
conditions, fluctuations in power supply, water pressure and programme settings, the programme duration is
automatically adjusted while the programme is running.
SPECIAL CASE: At programme start of Cottons and Cotton Eco programmes, display shows the duration of
half load. It is the most common use case. After programme starts, in 20-25 minutes actual load is detected
by the machine. And if the detected load is higher than half load; washing programme will be adjusted
accordingly and programme duration increased automatically. You may follow this change on the display.

The auxiliary functions in the table may vary according to the model of your machine.
Water and power consumption may vary subject to the changes in water pressure, water hardness and temperature, ambient
temperature, type and amount of laundry, selection of auxiliary functions and spin speed, and changes in electric voltage.
You can see the washing duration on the display of your machine while selecting a programme. Depending on the amount
of laundry you have loaded into your machine, there may be a difference of 1-1.5 hours between the duration shown on the
display and the actual duration of the wash cycle. Duration will be automatically updated soon after the washing starts.
"Selection patterns for auxiliary functions can be changed by the manufacturer company. New selection patterns can be added or removed."
"The spin speed of your machine may vary according to the programme; this spin speed cannot exceed the max. spin speed of your machine."
Always select the lowest appropriate temperature. The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally
those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase,
the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

4.3.5 Programmes
WaterCare Technology
This technology replaces some of the intensive drum movements during the washing process with the power
of water. It provides faster washing that is also gentler to your laundry, without compromising the washing
performance.
A mix of water and detergent is sprayed from the top of the drum when the drum is stationary. The point in
the cycle when this happens is optimised for each programme and will occur at different times on different
programmes. Generally, the special spraying system is activated at a point between 25 to 60 minutes into the
wash cycle, depending on the load and temperature selection. In certain programmes, the special spraying
system will be activated at the beginning of the cycle (3 to 10 min into the wash).
• Eco 40-60
The Eco 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C
or 60 °C, together in the same cycle, and that this programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU
ecodesign legislation.
Although it washes longer than all other programmes, it provides high energy and water savings. Actual water
temperature may be different from the stated wash temperature. When you load the machine with less laundry
(e.g. ½ capacity or less), periods in programme stages may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and
water consumption will decrease.
• Cottons
You can wash your durable cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.) in this
programme. When the quick wash function button is pressed, programme duration becomes notably shorter
but effective washing performance is ensured with intense washing movements. If the quick wash function is
not selected, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.
• Synthetics
You can wash your laundry (such as shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blended fabrics etc.) in this programme.
The programme duration gets notable shorter and washing with high performance is ensured. If the quick wash
function is not selected, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.
• WoolProtect
Use to wash your woollen/delicate laundry. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tag of your
clothes. Your laundry will be washed with a very gentle washing action in order not to damage the clothes.
23 / EN

shirts. When the quick wash function is selected, the Pre-treatment algorithm is executed.
• Apply the pre-treatment chemical on your garments directly or add it together with the detergent in
the powder detergent compartment. Thus, you can obtain the same performance as you obtain with normal
washing in a much shorter period of time. Usage life of your shirts increases. Do not use pre-wash detergent if
you are planning to use delay function of your machine. Pre-wash detergent may cause stains on your clothes.
**It is recommended to operate the cycle with no more than 6 shirts to get the best wrinkle level in your
shirts using this cycle. When washing is operated with more than 6 shirts, there may be differences on the
wrinkle levels and humidity on shirts at the end of cycle
.
• Mini / Mini 14’
Use this programme to wash your lightly soiled or unspotted cotton clothes in a short time. The programme
duration can be reduced down to 14 minutes when the quick wash function is selected. When the quick wash
function is selected, maximum 2 (two) kg of laundry must be washed.

Does Grundig offer replacements?
This is a repair-only guarantee. On occasion, the Manufacturer may at its sole discretion, replace your product with a new
product instead of carrying out a repair. Where a replacement is offered, this would normally be an identical model but when
this is not possible, a model of similar specification will be provided. The Manufacturer will cover the costs and arrange for the
delivery of the new product and for the return of the old product. Any costs related to disconnecting the faulty product and
installing the replacement product will not be borne by the Manufacturer unless previously agreed to in writing. The original
guarantee will continue to apply to the replacement product; the new product will not come with a new guarantee.
When will the repair take place?
Our Engineers work Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm. Appointments outside these hours may be possible at the sole
discretion of the Manufacturer but cannot be guaranteed. Whilst our Engineers will endeavour to minimize inconvenience and
to meet requests for specific timed appointments, this cannot be guaranteed. We will not be liable for delays or if it is unable to
carry out a repair because a convenient appointment cannot be arranged.
Will there be any charge for the repairs?
It is your responsibility to provide evidence to the Engineer that your product is covered by this guarantee with a proof of
purchase. The Manufacturer reserves the right to charge for the reasonable cost of any service call if:
• You cannot provide evidence that your product is covered by this guarantee.
• Where a service call has been made and the engineer finds that there is no fault with your product.
• That your product has not been installed or operated in accordance with the User Instructions Booklet.
• That the fault was caused by something other than faulty materials, defective components or manufacturing defects.
• For missed appointments.
Payment of these costs are due immediately upon the Engineer providing you with an invoice. The Manufacturer reserves the
right to terminate the guarantee if you fail to pay the costs for the service call in a timely manner.
If you are a resident of the United Kingdom, this guarantee will be governed by English law and subject to the English Courts,
save where you live in another part of the United Kingdom, in which case the law and courts of that location will apply.
If you are resident in the Republic of Ireland, this guarantee will be governed by Irish law and the Irish courts will have
jurisdiction.
