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.

Automatic door opener
Use the appliance with the automatic door opener switched on. When the appliance door
opens the appliance immediately enters the lowest possible stand-by power consumption
state.
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.
