Saving energy and detergent
~ Page 12
■ The selectable temperatures apply
to the care labels on the textiles. The
temperatures in the machine may
deviate from this so that you get the
optimum mix of energy-saving and
washing results.
■ Information about the energy
consumption
*
:
The display provides information
about the relative energy
consumption in the selected
programs.
The more indicator lights light up,
the higher the program's
consumption.
This enables you to compare the
consumption levels of the different
programs when choosing your
program settings and to decide on
an energy- and water-saving
program setting.
■ Energy-saving mode: The display
panel lighting goes out after a few
minutes and start button flashes. To
activate the lighting, press any
button.
Energy-saving mode is not activated
if a programme is running.
