Save energy and detergent when
washing lightly and normally soiled laundry. 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.
If the laundry is subsequently dried
in a tumble dryer, select the spin speed according to the tumble dryer manufacturer's instructions.
