Tips on economical use
■ Always fill the appliance with the
maximum amount of laundry for
each programme.
■ Wash normally soiled laundry
without pretreating.
■ For light and normal soiling in
laundry, you can save energy and
detergent.
■ The selectable temperatures apply
to the care labels on the textiles. The
temperatures in the appliance may
deviate from this so that you get the
optimum mix of energy-saving and
washing results.
■ Information on the energy
consumption:
The displays provide information
about the relative level of energy
consumption in the selected
programmes.
The more indicator lights light up,
the higher the programme's
consumption.
This enables you to compare the
consumption levels of the different
programmes when choosing your
programme settings and to decide
on an energy-saving programme
setting for the selected programme.
■ Low power mode: If the appliance is
not operated for a prolonged period
(approx. 5 minutes), the display
panel lighting goes out before the
programme starts and after the
programme has ended, A flashes.
Select any button to activate the
display backlighting.
Low power mode is not be activated
when the programme is running.
■ If the laundry will be dried in a dryer,
select the spin speed according to
the dryer manufacturer's instructions.

Protecting your laundry and
appliance
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/textiles
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper clips,
needles, nails) may damage the
washing or components of the
appliance.
The following instructions must be
observed when preparing your laundry:
■ Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions when dosing
all detergents, cleaning aids, care
products and cleaning agents.
■ Do not exceed maximum load.
Overfilling will impair the washing
result.
■ Keep detergents and agents for the
pretreatment of laundry (e.g. stain
remover, prewash sprays, etc.) away
from the surfaces of the appliance.
Using a damp cloth, immediately
remove any fine spray residue and
other residue or droplets.
■ Empty any pockets. Remove any
foreign objects.
■ Remove metal parts (paper clips,
etc.).
■ Trousers, knitwear and knitted
textiles, e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts
or sweatshirts, should be turned
inside out.
■ Ensure that underwired bras are
appliance-washable.
■ Wash delicates in a net or bag
(tights, underwired bras, etc).
■ Close zips, button up covers.
■ Brush sand out of pockets and
collars.
■ Remove curtain fittings or include in
the net/bag.
Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care
instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
depending on:
■ Type of fabric/fibre
■ Colour
Note: Laundry may discolour. Wash
white and coloured items separately.
Wash new coloured items separately
the first time you wash them.
■ Soiling
Wash laundry with the same level of
soiling together.
– Light: Do not need to pretreat,
select the GSpeedPerfect
setting if necessary.
– Normal
– Heavy: Load less laundry, need
to pretreat or soak laundry firstly.
– Stains: Remove/pretreat stains
while they are fresh. First dab
with soapy water; do not rub.
Then wash the items of laundry
with the appropriate programme.
Stubborn or dried-in stains can
sometimes only be removed by
washing several times.
■ Symbols on the care labels

Notes
■ Unfold and load presorted items
of laundry. Mix large and small
items. Washing items of different
size distribute themselves better
during the spin cycle. Individual
items of washing may cause
an unbalanced load.
■ Observe the maximum specified
load. Overfilling adversely affects the
washing result and promotes
creasing. Make sure that no items of
laundry are trapped between the
door and the rubber seal, and close
the door.
