If you are experiencing your cycle temperature jumping to 60 degrees regardless of what setting is used, this is because the cycle stages and cycle temperatures share the same display light.
When a temperature is selected and a cycle started, the light will show 60 degrees as this is displaying that the Wash part of the programme is in progress, this light will move down with each stage of the cycle.
If you want to check what temperature you have set a cycle, simply press the Temp button once. This will momentarily show you your selected temperature before moving back up the cycle stage.

If the wash and end lights are flashing, this would suggest that the appliance isn’t draining. Please try the following:

  • Check that the outlet pipe is not kinked.

  • Check for any blockages in the outlet pipe.
  • Try a hot wash to give the internal pipes a good clean.
  • Try a power cycle. This is performed by disconnecting the unit from the mains socket and holding down the power button for 10 seconds.
