Delayed start
: For using cheap-rate electricity (setting range of up to 24hours).
The programme starts automatically when the set time is reached.
OptiTime
: If a programme end time has been selected, OptiTime calculates the
most energy-efficient programme that can be carried out in the time remaining to
programme end. OptiTime reduces the washing temperature, while the washing
performance is maintained. The more time is available for washing, the more the
washing temperature can be reduced. If higher wash temperatures with a germ-
killing effect are needed, a corresponding programme without the OptiTime func-
tion must be selected.

Pressing the button interrupts the programme running. Pressing it again resumes
the programme.
2.5 EcoManagement
Only active if «EcoManagement» is turned on in the user settings.
EcoManagement provides information on the energy and water consumption of
the appliance and supports the sustainable use of energy. The following con-
sumption information can only be retrieved when no programme is running:
▪ Energy and water consumption of the last programme
▪ Total energy and water consumption
▪ Average energy and water consumption of the last 25 programmes
The energy and water consumption of a programme is displayed during pro-
gramme selection. At the end of a programme, the energy and water consump-
tion of the last programme run is displayed.
The values can vary according to programme, load, additional functions and user
settings.

6.3 Emergency draining
The water in the appliance may be hot. Scalding hazard! Allow to cool down be-
fore emergency draining.
In the event of a blocked water outlet or drain pump, a malfunction or a power failure, if there
is water still in the appliance it must be drained off as follows:
▸ Open the drain tray by pressing it bottom right or with the use of the
liquid detergent flap.
▸ Fold the drain tray right down. It also functions as a receptacle for col-
lecting any water that runs out.
▸ Carefully release the foreign body trap somewhat by turning it anti-
clockwise and steadily drain off the water.
▸ Close the foreign body trap by turning it clockwise and remove the
drain tray from the front.
▸ Empty the drain tray and then put it back, pushing it in straight as far
as it will go.
Note
: The drain tray can be removed and a larger receptacle used in
its place to draining off the water. The appliance can hold up to 30
litres of water.

6.4 Cleaning the foreign body trap
Note
: Clean the foreign body trap at regular intervals as well as after washing, for instance,
pet blankets or other wash items that cause a thick build-up of fluff.
▸ Drain off any residual water (see page 28).

▸ Remove any foreign objects (buttons, coins, etc.) from around the im-
peller

, check that the drain pump
impeller can turn.
Note
: The impeller
1
may turn stiffly. This is construction related and
does not indicate the presence of any foreign object or defect. If the
impeller does not turn, please contact our Customer Services.
▸ Push the foreign body trap in as far as it will go and then turn clock-
wise as far as it will go.
▸ Put the drain tray back and close it to.

▸ Open the drain tray by pressing it at the bottom or with the use of the
liquid detergent flap.
▸ Fold the drain tray right down. If necessary, carry out emergency
draining.

9.3 VAS Vibration Absorbing System
As the washing drum starts to spin, if the control unit detects that the load is out of balance it
will interrupt the spinning action once or more. In this case, the appliance tries to improve the
distribution of the wash load in the washing drum.
When spinning, at all spin speeds the load is, where necessary, actively balanced in the
washing drum, whereby the hollow vanes are filled with the necessary quantity of water. This
ensures optimal care and draining of the washing.
9.4 Water and energy economy
During the first few minutes of a programme running, sensors automatically determine the
type and the size of the load being washed.
Water levels are then optimally adjusted to the wash load so that only the strict amount of wa-
ter needed is used.
9.5 EcoStandby
The appliance is equipped with an automatic energy-saving «EcoStandby» function to avoid
consuming energy unnecessarily.
All displays go out within minutes of a programme finishing. Energy consumption is reduced
to an absolute minimum. The safety functions, however, remain activated.

10 Washing tips
10 Washing tips
10.1 Energy and water economy
▪ Where possible fill the drum to the maximum load capacity of the relevant programme.
▪ Select «Pre-wash» or «Soaking» only for washing that is heavily soiled or stained.
▪ For lightly soiled washing without staining select the «20°C» main wash programme or
the additional function «Sprint».
▪ Select additional function «Eco» if the duration of the programme or the germ-killing effect
of high temperatures do not play a role.
▪ Select additional function «OptiTime» if washing using a delayed start or the germ-killing
effect of high temperatures do not play a role.
Spin speed
How much energy is consumed by subsequent tumble drying depends on the spin speed
set. The higher the spin speed set, the lower the remaining moisture content of the washing
at the end of the programme.

state.

10 Washing tips
10.2 Avoiding damage
▪ Follow the fabric care symbols on garment labels.
▪ The wash temperature selected should agree with the recommended temperature range of
the washing detergent to ensure the washing detergent is at its most effective.
▪ Wash white and coloured textiles separately.
▪ Empty pockets and turn inside out. Remove any foreign objects (coins, nails, paper clips,
etc.).
▪ Empty and brush out pockets of work overalls worn in the metal industry. Metal shavings
can damage the washing and cause rust stains.
▪ Fasten hook and eye fasteners and zips. These can damage the laundry and the drum.
▪ Fasten cloth belts, apron ties and duvet and pillow cases to avoid them getting tangled up.
▪ Wash smaller items (e.g. nylon tights, belts) and items with zips and hooks in a washing
net or cushion cover.
▪ Remove stains before washing using a suitable stain remover.
▪ Pre-treat heavily soiled areas (collars, cuffs, etc.) with soap, special detergent or paste.
▪ Textiles, such as dog or horse blankets, that are covered in animal hair should be brushed
out before washing.
