en Installation and connection
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.
Do not exceed the programme's maximum load capacity → Page 24.
A higher load capacity extends the programme duration and increases energy consumption.
Use the programme's maximum load capacity → Page 24.
The energy and resource consumption is the most efficient.
Use the economy programme settings.
If you adjust the programme settings for a programme, the display shows the expected consumption.
Add → Page 38 detergent based on the laundry's degree of soiling.
For light to normal soiling, a smaller amount of detergent is sufficient. Observe the dosage recommendation from the detergent manufacturer.
Reduce the washing temperature for lightly and normally soiled laundry.
At low temperatures, the appliance consumes less energy. For light to normal soiling, lower temperatures than indicated on the care label are also sufficient.
Set the maximum spin speed if you want to dry the laundry in a tumble dryer afterwards.
The drier the laundry, the shorter the programme duration when drying which, in turn, reduces energy consumption.
Wash the laundry without prewash.
Washing with prewash increases the programme duration and increases energy and water consumption.
The appliance has a continuous automatic load adjustment function.
Depending on the type of fabric and load capacity, the continuous automatic load adjustment function optimally adjusts the water consumption and programme duration.
If you do not use the appliance for an extended period, it automatically switches to energy-saving mode. All displays go out and Start / Reload flashes.
Energy-saving mode ends when you use the appliance again, e.g. if you open or close the door.
If you do not use the appliance for an extended period, the appliance switches off automatically.
You can find out where and how best to install your appliance here. You will also learn how to connect the appliance to the water and power supply.
