Anti-stain system

General information about stains

A total of 16 different stains can be selected. The washing

machine adjusts the washing temperature, drum movement and

soaking time specific to the type of stain. Hot or cold water, gentle

or intensive washing control and long or short soaking provide

the wash programme with a special sequence for each type of

stain. The result: stains are treated optimally.

The treatment of two stains explained in the following

example

For the other stains we have developed comparable solutions in

intensive studies.

Selectable treatment of stains

ë blood

Blood is first “dissolved” in cold water, then the selected wash

programme starts.

í egg

Egg particles are removed by soaking in the lukewarm water

bath, selecting a wash cycle with a high water level and running

additional rinse cycles.

Sensors – Your washing machine is so

intelligent

Load adjust

Depending on the type of textile and load, the load adjust

optimally adjusts the water consumption in each programme.

Aqua-Sensor depending on model

During the rinse cycle the Aqua sensor checks the degree

of turbidity (turbidity is caused by dirt and detergent residue)

of the rinsing water. The duration and the number of rinse cycles

depend on the turbidity of the water.

Load sensor/Load display

The load sensor detects the load level in the washing machine

when the door is open. This is indicated by a progressing bar on

the display panel.

To ensure that the load sensor measures all the laundry, the drum

must be empty before the washing machine is switched on.

Dosing recommendation

The dosing recommendation indicates a recommended

detergent dosage as a %, depending on the selected programme

and the detected load. The indicated % refers to the

recommendation of the detergent manufacturer.

By observing the recommended dosage, you will protect the

environment and reduce your household costs.

Unbalanced load detection system

The automatic unbalanced load detection system spins the

laundry several times to ensure even distribution.

For reasons of safety the speed is reduced or does not perform

a spin cycle if the washing is very unevenly distributed.

Distribute small and large items of washing in the drum. Faults,

Aqua-Stop warranty

For appliances with Aqua-Stop only

In addition to warranty claims against the seller based on the contract

of sale and in addition to our appliance warranty we shall pay

damages under the following conditions:

If water damage is caused by a fault in our water safety system,

we shall make reparation for the damage with respect to private

users.

The liability warranty applies to the service life of the appliance.

A claim can only be made under the warranty if the appliance and

Aqua-Stop have been correctly installed and connected

according to our instructions; this also includes a correctly

installed Aqua-Stop extension (original accessory).

Our guarantee does not apply to defective cables/hoses or to

fittings up to the connection on the tap.

Appliances which feature Aqua-Stop can be left unattended

during operation and it is not necessary to turn off the tap

afterwards.

The tap should only be turned off if you are away for a prolonged

period, e.g. several weeks holiday.
