Eco: Large energy savings due to reduced wash temperature. The
extended washing time ensures the washing performance is maintained. Depending on programme, energy savings of about
10%-40%, extension of the washing times by 25–60 minutes and
water savings of about 10%-20%.
Easy care: For washing requiring very gentle treatment. Increased

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
