Frequently Asked Questions - AWV 508 IGNIS

How do I start a wash cycle on my Ignis AWV 508?

Open the water inlet tap, load the laundry, add detergent to the dispenser, close the door, turn the programme selector to the desired cycle, then press the On/Off button. The pilot light will illuminate indicating the cycle has started.

What is the maximum load capacity of this washing machine?

The maximum load for most cotton cycles is 4.5 kg. For heavily soiled cotton, it is recommended to load only 3.5 kg. For synthetics, the maximum is 2.0 kg; for delicate fabrics, 1.5 kg; and for wool, 1.0 kg.

How does the Half Load option work?

The Half Load button reduces water consumption during the rinse cycles in Cotton and Synthetics programmes. It is suitable for lightly soiled or small loads; you should also reduce the amount of detergent accordingly. This option is not recommended for high temperature programmes.

Why is the door locked during a cycle?

For safety, the door locks automatically once a programme starts. It cannot be opened during operation. If you stop the programme or there is a power failure, the door will unlock automatically after about 1 minute.

Can I change the programme after the cycle has started?

Yes. Press the On/Off button to switch off the appliance, then select a new programme and option. Press On/Off again to restart. To reset a programme before the end, switch off, set the programme selector to Drain, and press On/Off to drain the water. Wait for the door to unlock before opening.

Which detergent compartment should I use?

The dispenser has three compartments: I for prewash detergent, II for main wash detergent, and the center compartment for fabric softener or starch. For programmes without prewash, use only compartment II. Do not overfill beyond the MAX level mark.

How should I clean the washing machine?

Regularly clean the detergent dispenser and the filter (if accessible). The manual does not specify a cleaning cycle, but you can run a hot empty cycle with a washing machine cleaner occasionally. Also, leave the door open after use to allow drying.

What should I do if the machine does not drain?

Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. You can run the Drain programme to empty the drum. If the problem persists, the pump filter may need cleaning. Refer to the manual for filter location (not shown in the provided excerpt).

What do the programme positions on the selector mean?

The programme selector has positions for different cycles: Cotton with Prewash, Cotton, Coloured Cotton, Synthetics, Rinse+Spin, Spin, Delicate, Wool, Drain, and STOP to end the cycle. Turn clockwise to the desired programme.

What is the maximum spin speed of the Ignis AWV 508?

The maximum spin speed is 550 rpm. This applies to most programmes. Delicates and wool have gentler spin options.

ENERGY AND WATER CONSUMPTION DATA

Programmes with prewash last about 15 minutes more than programmes without prewash. Water and energy consumption values were measured in standard conditions in compliance with the Standard IEC 60 456. Individual consumption may vary in comparison with the values specified in the table, because of differences in supply water pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash.

Pour the detergent and additives into the respective compartments as follows:

• Programme with pre and main wash	| |
• Main wash programme without prewash	| |
• Fabric softeners and starch	※

• Anti-scale agents (water hardness 4)	| |

Important Note:
