14 Washing tips
13.3 VAS Vibration Absorbing System
As the washing drum starts to spin, if the control system 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.
13.4 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 water needed is used.
13.5 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 re-
duced to an absolute minimum. The safety functions, however, remain active.
14 Washing tips
14.1 Energy and water economy
▪ Where possible fill the drum to the maximum load capacity of the relevant pro-
gramme.
▪ Select «Pre-wash» 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».
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.
rpm
1400 1200 1000 800 600 400
Remaining moisture content
(cotton)
~47% ~52% ~60% ~70% ~90% ~110%
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 consump-
tion state.
