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.
* The remaining time indicator can deviate from the values in the table, because it takes into account the household conditions
applicable at that time.
** 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.

• With modified temperature profile and a slightly

prologned washing duration, the optimum
combination of excellent washing result and even
lower energy consumption is achieved.

• Only for heavily soiled loads (for example sand,

granular dirt) sensible. Increases the cycle time by
approximately 15 min.

• This option is particularly suitable for areas with very

soft water, washing baby linen and helps people with

pregressing to the final spin cycle to avoid creasing
and prevent colours from changing.
