Packaging/used appliance
Save energy and conserve
resources
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less electricity and
less water.
Choose programmes with low
temperatures and longer wash times
and use maximum load capacity
~ Page 34.
■ Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient.
Use the economy programme settings.
■ If you adjust the programme settings
for a programme, the display shows
the expected consumption.
Add ~ Page 33 detergent based on
the laundry’s degree of soiling.
■ For light to normal soiling, a smaller
amount of detergent is sufficient.
Observe the dosage
recommendation from the detergent
manufacturer.
Reduce the washing temperature for
lightly and normally soiled laundry.
■ At low temperatures, the appliance
consumes less energy. For light to
normal soiling, lower temperatures
than indicated on the care label are
also sufficient.
Set the maximum spin speed if you
want to dry the laundry in a tumble dryer
afterwards.
■ The drier the laundry, the shorter the
programme duration when drying
which, in turn, reduces energy
consumption. A higher spin speed
reduces the residual moisture in the
laundry and increases the volume of
the spin noise.
Wash the laundry without prewash.
■ Washing with prewash increases the
programme duration and increases
energy and water consumption.
The appliance has a continuous
automatic load adjustment function.
■ Depending on the type of fabric and
load capacity, the continuous
automatic load adjustment function
optimally adjusts the water
consumption and programme
duration.

Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care
instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
depending on:
■ Type of fabric/fibre
■ Colour
Note: Laundry may discolour. Wash
white and coloured items separately.
Wash new coloured items separately
the first time you wash them.
■ Soiling
Wash laundry with the same level of
soiling together.
Some examples of soiling levels can
be found in the chapter
– Light: Do not need to pretreat.
– Normal: Soiled laundry.
– Heavy: Load less laundry, need
to pretreat or soak laundry firstly.
– Stains: Remove/pretreat stains
while they are fresh. First dab
with soapy water; do not rub.
Then wash the items of laundry
with the appropriate programme.
Stubborn or dried-in stains can
sometimes only be removed by
washing several times.
■ Symbols on the care labels
Preparing laundry for drying
Note: To ensure an even drying result,
sort the laundry according to the:
■ Type of fabric
■ Care symbols which are indicated on
the care labels.
Only dry laundry which is labelled
“dryer-proof” or which has the
following
care symbols:
■ a : Dry at normal temperature
■ ` : Dry at low temperature (delicate
drying)
The following textiles should not be
dried:
■ b = care symbol “Do not dry”
■ Delicates (silk, synthetic curtains).
■ Textiles which contain foam rubber
or similar materials.
■ Textiles which were treated with
flammable liquids, e.g. with stain
remover, petroleum ether, thinners.
Risk of explosion!
■ Textiles which still contain hairspray
or similar substances.
Notes
■ Before drying, hand-washed textiles
must be spun at the appropriate spin
speed.
■ Before drying, spin at the optimum
speed. A spin speed of more than
1000 rpm is recommended for
cotton, more than 800 rpm for easy-
care textiles.
■ Do not iron washing immediately
after drying. It is recommended to
roll the washing up first to distribute
residual moisture evenly.
■ To ensure a good drying
performance, quilts, terry cloths and
other large textiles should be dried
separately. Do not dry more than 6
terry cloths (or 4 kg).
■ Do not exceed the maximum load.
