5 Programme overview
5.5 Additional programmes
Hybrid Eco
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.
Energy efficiency can be set to one of three levels:
Optimal energy efficiency
Up to a wash temperature of around 45–50 °C only the heat pump is used for
heating; the set temperature is also reduced. The extended washing time,
however, ensures the washing performance is maintained. This means that the
main wash takes significantly longer than with the «Good energy efficiency» or
«Very good energy efficiency» variants. The energy consumed to heat the
water is also significantly lower and means a saving of around 50–70 %
compared to a conventional washing machine without a heat pump.
Very good energy efficiency
Up to a higher wash temperature only the heat pump is used for heating. Only
from around 40–50 °C (depending on the programme) does the conventional
heater come on. This means that it takes longer to reach the desired wash
temperature. The energy consumed to heat the water is significantly lower
(40–50 %) than with conventional washing machines without a heat pump.
Good energy efficiency
At the start of a programme only the heat pump is used briefly for heating.
From a wash temperature of around 20 °C (depending on the programme)
both heating systems, and thus a higher heat output, are used to heat the
water. This means that the desired wash temperature is reached quickly. The
energy consumed to heat the water is around 10–20 % lower than with
conventional washing machines without a heat pump.

for easy ironing – or tumble dried.
• To avoid renewed creasing at the end of the programme, the
washing is loosened up for an extended period (min. 60 minutes).

is also increased by around 1–3 cm during the main wash and each
rinse cycle.
«Skin protection»
• Two extra rinse cycles are added to each programme and the water
level is also increased by about 5 cm during each rinse cycle. This
function is particularly suitable for people with sensitive skin or with a
suspected allergy to washing detergent.
5.6 Bio and soap wash
Bio wash (alkaline detergent + bleach)
The programme sequence is adapted for the use of multi-component detergents (alkaline detergent + bleach). First the alkaline detergent with softener
(compartment II) is added to the wash and the suds are heated up to 40 °C.
Then after around 6 minutes the bleach (compartment I) is added.
Soap wash (softener + soap detergent)
The programme sequence is adapted for the use of multi-component detergents (softener + soap detergent). The softener (compartment I) and the soap
detergent (compartment II) are added to the wash one after the other.
