This is a very short video on entering Program Mode for the Miele W4842 washer. There are a plethora of options you can set under Program Mode. On my machine I set the rinse levels to maximum (we have very soft water where I live) and I also lowered the maximum extract speed to 1200 RPM to help it enjoy a longer life. I STRONGLY advise against setting the maximum extract speed any higher than what the machine ships with, in this case 1400 RPM (it would likely void your warranty as well). To enter Program Mode: with the door open, press the START button and hold it while closing the door. When the START button LED begins to flash, press five times and hold for about four seconds or so. Then- as you can see- Program Mode is activated. You can exit by scrolling to the very last menu selection and hit OK. The main reason I uploaded this video is to point out that the cadence of the five START button presses is very important- this machine is rather intolerant of irregularity in this regard. Another reason is that I'm testing my new Flip Ultra HD camcorder with 60FPS capability (for about 0 you can't go wrong!). Enjoy. PS doing the same procedure but with only three START button presses will enter Service Mode- you can see how many hours you've run your machine, check/clear error faults, etc.
