Prewash cycle increases programme duration approximately 15 min. Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with Standard IEC 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 similarly 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.

ADD DETERGENTS, CLOSE THE DOOR AND SELECT THE PROGRAMME

Add the detergent as described in the programme table or in the chapter “Detergents and Additives” in the booklet.

1.Turn the programme selector knob to the desired programme and temperature.

2.The remaining time display shows the duration of the chosen programme (in hours and minutes) and after taking some seconds for calculating, the pilot lamp of the “Start/Pause” button is flashing.

3.The programme sequence and the predefined spin speed indication corresponding to the selected programme lights up.

SELECT ANY DESIRED OPTION

Selecting any option the indication lights up. When the combination of programme, additional options and temperature is not possible, the indication lights switch off automatically. Unsuitable combinations of options are deselected automatically.

“Prewash” button

•Only for heavily soiled loads (for example sand, granular dirt) sensible. The cycle time increases approximately 15 min.

“Intensive Rinse” button

•More water and a longer time in rinse cycle is added.

•This option is particularly suitable for areas with very soft water, washing baby linen and helps people with allergies.

“Rinse Hold” button

•The laundry remains in the last rinse water without progressing to the final spin cycle to avoid creasing and prevent colours from changing.

•This option is particularly recommended for the programme “Synthetics” or “Delicates”.

•This function is particularly useful if you want to postpone spinning to a later time, or if you want to drain only.

Note: The programme stops to “Rinse Hold” at the time the “Rinse Hold” light in the programme flow indication is on.

Terminate the “Rinse Hold” option:

•Press the “Rinse Hold” button again; the programme will terminate automatically with the final spin cycle for the present wash programme.

•If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the programme selector knob to the “Drain” programme and press the “Start/Pause” button again when flashing.

“Spin Speed Reduction” button

•Every programme has an automatic predefined maximum spin speed.

•Press the button to set another spin speed.

•If the spin speed “0” is selected, the final spinning is cancelled but intermediate spin peaks remain during rinse. The water is drained out only.

PROGRAMME START

Open the tap and press the “Start/Pause” button. The pilot lamp of the “Start/Pause” button lights up.

The indicator lamps show the sequence reached in the programme. After starting the programme, the sequence indication runs from left to right through Wash, Rinse, Spin.
