Tips on economical use
■ Fill the appliance with the maximum
amount of laundry for each
programme to save energy and
water to an optimum.
Overview of programmes
~ Supplementary sheet for the
operating and installation
instructions.
■ Wash normally soiled laundry
without a prewash.
■ Save energy and detergent when
washing lightly and normally soiled
laundry.
~ "Detergent" on page 20
■ 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
program.
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 for the selected
program.
■ Energy-saving mode: The display
panel lighting goes out after a few
minutes and the start button flashes.
To activate the lighting, press any
button.
Energy-saving mode is not activated
if a programme is running.
■ If the laundry is subsequently dried
in a tumble dryer, select the spin
speed according to the tumble dryer
manufacturer's instructions.

Optimum water pressure in the supply
network
At least 100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum 1000 kPa (10 bar)
When the tap is open, the water flow
rate is at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than this,
a pressure-reducing valve must be
installed.

Caution!
Water damage
If the drain hose slips out of the wash
basin or the connection point during
draining due to high water pressure, any
escaping water may cause water
damage.
Secure the drain hose so that it cannot
slip out.
Note: Do not kink the water drain hose
or put strain on it lengthways.
You can lay the water drain hose as
follows:
■ Outlet in a sink
