Laundry Functions

Neff machines will automatically try to rebalance an unbalanced load. If this isn't possible, it will either reduce the spin or cut the spin out altogether to avoid potential damage.

The washing machine assumes the clothes are lightly soiled, rather than dirty. This reduces wash time by around 40%. For heavily soiled clothes, you should use the intensive setting.

You can programme your machine 1/24 hours in advance to suit your schedule or take advantage of off peak electricity rates.

This special programme should be used after each drying cycle. It will make sure that the fl uff created by the drying cycle inside the drum and tub is eliminated preventing fluff on the next wash load.

If too much detergent has been added, the programme is automatically adjusted to reduce the foam in the appliance by adjusting the drum movement and adding an extra rinse cycle.

This useful function enables you to suspend the programme, perhaps if you have to go out and then re-start the programme on your return.

This is a time reduction feature that enables you to select any programme and then select FlexiTime. Your programme will then be reduced in time by up to 30% - it does this by reducing the time taken by the washing phase of the programme and therefore does not use any additional energy.

This protects inlet and outlet hoses from leakage. A safety valve, independent of the electricity supply, prevents any more water from entering the washing machine and overfl owing.

The W5440X0 has a set of programme progress symbols and time indicator on the control panel which tells you how much time there's remaining on the cycle.

A pre wash can be selected for any programme except woollens.
