Best hall sensor rotor/stator machine made. In fact, FP was the first. We were able to buy them here in the States until Whirlpool dominated the market with their copy. LG and Samsung also brought their version out. |

Congratulations on your successful move. Trying out a new machine is exciting and doubly so if it is a great performer. Thanks for the thorough description of the cycle. |

I also have one of these machines :-) And also the matching condensor dryer. I am loving both of these machines. The flexibility of the washer with its cycles is just great. Results have always been spotless. I agree about the balancing although i find it struggles more on partial loads than if I save up full loads :-) It doesn't like balancing bedding easily thats for sure. Love the water levels too :-) I would recommend them to anyone able to buy them!
Here's a pic of my matching set and also a video :-) Matt |

I have noticed very little difference in the Cottons and Heavy cycles apart from the length of interim spins. I use the Heavy cycle at 60 on the Light soil setting and comes up as 1:50. The interim spins on heavy are long and at 1100rpm. Cottons seems to do longer rinses and shorter interim spins. I never use the Cotton cycle, only Everyday, Heavy, Delicate and occasionally Quick 30. It's a wonderful machine :-)

Chris.
I think if you select a 60 wash it will fill only with hot water. If you just let it fill for that wash and then cancel it just prior to the heating stage and then restart the machine on a Cold cycle it will just carry on washing without using the heater. This machine doesn't run the pump prior to filling and doesn't dump out the water from a cancelled wash, just carries on the reselcted cycle with whatever water is in there and topping up if needed. |
