Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with standard IEC/EN 60 456. Consumption data in the home may vary with
respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash.Water and energy consumption refer
to the default setting of the programmes; selecting special options or modifying spin speed or temperature will change the consumption data.
The programme duration may differ from the values indicated above as it depends on the operation conditions applicable at that time (see also
“Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use).
* To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pump drains the water out.
** Reference Programmes for Energy Label.
*** Automatic adaption of programme duration after detection of wash load.

PREPARATION OF THE WASH CYCLE

Add detergents as indicated on the front page and as
described in the chapter “Detergent and Additives” in
your Instructions for Use.

• Turn the programme selector to the desired
programme and temperature.

• The display shows the programme duration and the
predefined spin speed.

• The indication lamp next to the “Start/Pause”

Selecting or deselecting an option can be done at
any time during the programme. The option will be
applied as long as the corresponding programme
phase has not been executed yet.

“Clean+” button

• Choose this option if you use an in-wash additive for

stain removal (powder, for example “Vanish”) - it will
optimize the additive’s efficiency to get better wash
performance and stain removal.

• Use with maximum load.

• Add an appropriate amount of in-wash additive for
stain removal (powder) to the main wash chamber,
together with your detergent (only use powder
detergent with this option).
Respect the manufacturer’s dosing instructions.

• Prolongs the programme by approx. 10 to 15
minutes.

machine at his convenience, for example at night when
electricity is cheaper.

• Select programme, spin speed and options.

• Press the “Start Delay” button several times to
select a delay time by 1 to 23 hours.
