4.5Additional functions

Whenever a programme is selected, the selectable additional functions are displayed.

Additional functions	Load
	capacity
EcoHybrid: The appliance is equipped with two heating systems:

▪Heat pump heater (approximately 1 kW heat output) with very low energy consumption. Suitable for heating up to 50 °C.

▪Conventional auxiliary heater (approximately 2.8 kW 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

3.5 kg

water level, reduced washing action and lower spin speed.

Pre-wash: Suitable for heavily soiled washing. Programme duration extended about 15 minutes.

Delayed start: For using cheap-rate electricity (setting range of up to 24 hours). 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).

Button

Only active if «EcoManagement» is turned on in the user settings (see page 30). EcoManagement provides information on the energy and water consumption of the appliance. The following statistical data can only be retrieved when 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 user settings.
