Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions, in compliance with IEC/EN 60456. In the home, they may var y depending on the individual
water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash. The consumption data indicated are based on an inlet water temperature of approx.
15 °C through the cold fill valve as well as the hot fill valve (if available). If your washing mach ine has a hot fill valve, connection of this valve to hot water
supply will lower the energy consumption by reduced heating times, depending on the individual hot fill inlet water temperature.
Water and energy consumptions refer to the default setting of the programmes, with temperature and load as indicated in the table; selecting any options
or changing the spin speed will also change the consumpti on data.
** To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle before the water is drained.
*** Automatic adaptation of programme duration after detection of wash load.
Power consumption: in off-mode 0.11 W / in left-on mode 2. 32 W.

programmes, an option may already be preset; if you want you
can deselect it.

• 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 w ash performance and stain removal.
• Use with maximum load preferably.
• 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.

“Prewash” button
• Adds a prewash cycle to the wash programme selected;
prolongs the programme by about a quarter of an hour.
• Recommended for heavily soiled laundry (e.g. containing
sand or granular dirt).
• Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash when
activating the “Prewash” option.
“Intensive rinse” button
• More water is added and rinse cycle is prolonged.
• Particularly suitable for areas with very soft water or for
washing baby linen, and helps people with allergies.
“Soil level” button
• Adapts the programme duration to the soil level of your laundry.
= lightly soiled - = normally soiled - = heavily soiled
Not all soil levels are selectable for each programme.
“Spin” button (incl. “Rinse Hold” )
• Press the button to change the predefined spin speed.
• If you select spin speed “0”, the final spinning is cancelled
and the water is drained out only. However, intermediate
spin phases remain during the rinse.
• If you select “Rinse hold” , the laundry remains in the last
rinse water without progressing to the final spin cycle, to avoid
creasing and prevent colours from changing. To activate the
“Rinse hold”, press the “Spin” button repeatedly until the “Rinse
hold” symbol on the display lights up.
• The wash programme stops to “Rinse hold” when the “Rinse
hold” symbol on the display blinks; the “Start/Pause”
indicator blinks as well.
• To terminate the “Rinse hold” by spinning the laundry, press
“Start/Pause” - the laundry will be spun with the default spin
speed. You can also select another spin speed with the "Spin"
button before you start the spin cycle with “Start/Pause”.

spinning, press the “Spin” button until spin speed “0” appears
on the display; then press “Start/Pause” to start the draining.
• Do not leave the laundry to soak for too long in the “Rinse
hold” (especially silk!).
SET CYCLE END (“FINISH IN”)
With this function you can postpone your programme to complete
at a later time: press the button to select in how many hours the
programme shall be finished. Thus, it allows you to have your
laundry ready at a particular time and to profit from more favourable
energy rates during the night, for example.
• Do not use liquid detergent when activating this function.
• The time until the cycle end can be selected in full hour time
segments (1 to 24 h). When you press the button, the shortest
possible time will be displayed; keep on pressing the button to
loop through all the available times. To remove it again, keep
on pressing the button until you see the value “0:00”.
• When you have selected the desired time until the cycle end,
press “Start/Pause” - the countdown will begin.
• During the countdown, you can still modify the programme
setting (select or deselect options, change spin speed etc.). If
the modifications prolong the programme duration so that it
overruns the originally set time until the cycle end, the
programme will start immediately.
• Sometimes the programme may finish before the selected
time until the cycle end has expired (e.g. for small loads). In
this case, the washing machine will tumble the laundry
regularly to keep it fresh, until the selected “Finish in” time
has expired. During tumbling, the display will show an
animation. The tumbling phase can be stopped at any time
either by pressing any button or by rotating the programme
selector; the animation will stop and the door will unlock in
about 1 minute as indicated on the display.
SAVE YOUR FAVOURITE PROGRAMMES
If there is a programme setting which you use frequently, the
appliance offers the possibility to save one setting for each
programme so that it can be used again by just pressing one button.
• Select the desired programme, temperature, spin speed and
option(s), press and hold the “Favourites” button for at
least 3 seconds. The symbol on the display briefly blinks
and then lights up - the programme setting is saved.
Next time you want to use your individual programme setting,
select the programme, briefly press the “Favourites” button
and start by pressing “Start/Pause” .
If you want to replace the saved programme setting by another one:
• Proceed as already described above - the previously saved
programme setting will be replaced by the new one.
