Additional functions Load

EcoHybrid: The appliance is equipped with two heating systems:
▪ Heat pump heater (approximately 1kW heat output) with very
low energy consumption. Suitable for heating up to 50°C.
▪ Conventional auxiliary heater (approximately 2.8kW heat output)
with normal energy consumption.
Optimal energy efficiency: Initially heated only using the
heat pump heater. The conventional heater comes on at
around 40–50°C. The set temperature is also reduced.
The extended washing time, however, ensures the washing performance is maintained. The energy consumed to
heat the water is around 50–70% lower than with conventional washing machines without a heat pump.
Very good energy efficiency: Initially heated only using
the heat pump heater. The conventional heater comes on
at around 40–50°C. It takes longer to reach the desired
wash temperature. The energy consumed to heat the water is around 40-50% lower than with conventional washing machines without a heat pump.
Good energy efficiency: Heating using both heating systems simultaneously. This provides a high heat energy
output. The energy consumed to heat the water is around
10-20% lower than with conventional washing machines
without a heat pump.
Easy care: For washing requiring very gentle treatment. Increased
water level, reduced washing action and lower spin speed.
Pre-wash: Suitable for heavily soiled washing. Programme duration
extended about 15minutes.
Delayed start: For using cheap-rate electricity (setting range of up
to 24hours). The programme starts automatically when the set
time is reached.
OptiTime: If a programme end time has been selected, OptiTime
calculates the most energy-efficient programme that can be carried
out in the time remaining to programme end.
OptiTime reduces the washing temperature, while the washing performance is maintained. The more time is available for washing, the
more the washing temperature can be reduced. If higher wash temperatures with a germ-killing effect are needed, a corresponding
programme without the OptiTime function must be selected (see
page 30).

no programme is running:
▪ Energy and water consumption of the last programme
▪ Total energy and water consumption
▪ Average energy and water consumption of the last 25 programmes
The energy and water consumption of a programme is displayed during programme selection.
At the end of a programme, the energy and water consumption of the programme that has just ended is displayed.
The values can vary according to programme, load, additional functions and
