Function/Symbol Uses
Temperature setting The temperature can be changed in steps of 10°C
or 15°C, allowing slightly soiled (not stained) textiles to be washed with a saving in energy.
Cold wash:
Not heated
Spin speed The spin speed can be changed in steps of 200
rpm (1200, 1000, 800, 600, 400 rpm, stop after
rinsing, 1500,1400 rpm). Delicates can thus be
spun at a low spin speed. However, this increases
the drying time (greater energy consumption for
tumble drying).
Delayed start Take advantage of cheap-rate electricity (setting
range of up to 24 hours). When the delayed start
time set is reached, the programme starts automatically.
Fast forward /
End of programme
Press the button to skip individual parts of a
programme at any time during the programme sequence.
Pause / Door opener* Pressing the button 1× when a programme is
running will cause the programme to pause. Pressing the button again will cause the appliance
door to open provided the appliance is in a state
that allows this action (depends on the water level,
temperature, speed).

Liquid detergent and a delayed start
If a delayed start has been selected, after loading the washing the liquid detergent should be added to a dosing aid (e.g. ball). It is important that the liquid

Page 27
7 Washing
Detergent dosage
Adding too much washing detergent can cause excess foaming, giving a poor wash result and, in the worst case, causing damage to the
appliance.
The amount of detergent required depends on the degree of soiling as well as
the wash load, the hardness of the water and the product being used. Follow
the detergent manufacturer’s dosing instructions.
The hardness of the water is measured using the French degree of water hardness (°fH) and is subdivided into three categories:
▪ Soft
0°fH
to 15°fH
▪ Medium
15°fH
to 25°fH
▪ Hard over 25°fH
(NB Use water softener to reduce amount of washing detergent required.)
The local water authorities can provide information on the level of water hardness in your area.

7 Washing
With the hygiene recommendation display
It is common nowadays to select programmes with temperatures below 60°C
in order to save energy. These achieve perfectly good results with lightly
soiled everyday washing. However, washing almost exclusively with low temperatures will result in the formation of foul smelling coatings in the appliance.
To avoid this a «hygiene recommendation» appears when it is recommended
that one of the following steps be taken for hygiene reasons:
▸ With one of the next wash cycles carry out a wash with at least 60°C.
or:
▸ Unload the washing.
▸ Press the button 1×.
– The «Appliance hygiene» programme starts.
7.8 At the end of the wash day
▸ Clean the detergent dispenser drawer.
▸ Pull the detergent dispenser drawer out as far as it
will go in order for it to dry.
▸ Remove any deposits or foreign objects from out of
the door seal.
▸ Leave the appliance door slightly ajar to allow the
washing drum and door seal to dry.

10 Washing tips
10.1 Fabric care symbols
To wash items correctly, please follow the fabric care symbols on the labels of
the wash items.
10.2 Washing detergent
The wash temperature selected should agree with the recommended temperature range of the washing detergent to ensure the washing detergent is at its
most effective.
10.3 General tips
▪ Wash white and coloured textiles separately.
▪ Empty pockets and turn inside out. Remove any foreign objects (coins,
nails, paper clips, etc.).
▪ Empty and brush out pockets of work overalls worn in the metal industry.
Metal shavings can damage the washing and cause rust stains.
▪ Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases; close zips and hook and eye fasten-
ers; fasten cloth belts and apron ties.
▪ Wash smaller items (e.g. nylon tights, belts) and items with zips and hooks
in a washing net or cushion cover.
▪ Remove stains before washing using a suitable stain remover.
▪ Pre-treat heavily soiled areas (collars, cuffs, etc.) with soap, special deter-
gent or paste.
▪ For normally or heavily soiled washing, select the additional pre-wash
programme.
▪ Wash woollens and other textiles with the fabric care label using the
hand wash programme only. Use detergent suitable for woollens and
delicates.
▪ Textiles, such as dog or horse blankets, that are covered in animal hair
should be brushed out before washing.

10 Washing tips
10.4 Net curtains
If washing curtains made from mixed or man-made fibres:
▪ Ask the retailer whether the curtains are machine washable and, if so, at
what water temperature.
▪ Fill the washing drum only a quarter full.
▪ Tie up metal rollers and plastic sliders using an open weave fabric.
▪ Use a mild detergent (use sparingly due to foaming).
▪ With older, faded curtains, the material is weaker and may be easily dam-
aged if machine washed.
10.5 Saving energy and water
▪ Use the maximum wash load capacity of the particular programme.
▪ Select «Pre-wash» or «Soaking» only for washing that is heavily soiled or
stained.
▪ For lightly soiled washing without staining select the main programme
or the additional «Sprint» function.
Spin speed
How much energy is consumed by subsequent tumble drying depends on the
spin speed set. The higher the spin speed set, the lower the level of residual
moisture in the washing at the end of the programme.
rpm Residual moisture in cotton fabrics in %
1500 ~44
1400 ~47
1200 ~52
1000 ~60
800 ~70
600 ~90
400 ~110
Automatic door opener
Use the appliance with the automatic door opener turned on. In this way, when
the appliance door opens the appliance immediately enters the lowest possible stand-by power consumption state.

12.8 VAS Vibration Absorbing System
As the washing drum starts to spin, if the control unit detects that the load is
out of balance it will interrupt the spinning action once or more. In this case,
the appliance tries to improve the distribution of the wash load in the washing
drum.
When spinning, at all spin speeds the load is, where necessary, actively balanced in the washing drum, whereby the hollow vanes are filled with the necessary quantity of water. This ensures optimal care and draining of the washing.
12.9 Water and energy economy
During the first few minutes of a programme running, sensors automatically
determine the type and the size of the load being washed.
Water levels are then optimally adjusted to the wash load so that only the strict
amount of water needed is used.
12.10 EcoStandby
The appliance is equipped with an automatic energy-saving «EcoStandby»
function to avoid consuming energy unnecessarily.
All displays go out within minutes of a programme finishing. Energy consumption is reduced to an absolute minimum. The safety functions, however, remain
activated.
