Temperature setting
°C
The temperature can be changed in steps of
10 °C or 15 °C, allowing slightly soiled (not
stained) textiles to be washed with a saving in
energy.
Cold wash: Not heated
Spin speed The spin speed can be changed in steps of 200
rpm (1200, 1000, 800, 600, 400 rpm, stop after
rinsing, 1500,1400 rpm). Delicates can thus be
spun at a low spin speed. However, this increases
the drying time (greater energy consumption for
tumble drying).
Delayed start Take advantage of cheap-rate electricity (setting
range of up to 24 hours). When the time set is
reached, the programme starts automatically.

6.7 Hygiene recommendation
It is common nowadays to select programmes with temperatures below 60° C
in order to save energy. These achieve perfectly good results with lightly
soiled everyday washing. Washing almost exclusively with low temperatures
will result in the formation of foul smelling coatings in the appliance. To
prevent this, a «hygiene recommendation» indicates when it is recommend-
able to wash with a wash temperature of at least 60° C, or to use the hygiene
programme.

max. ½ full.
• If washing delicates, woollens, silks, polya-
crylics or net curtains, fill the washing drum
max. ¼ full.
For wet loads, halve these load capacities.

Do not fill with liquid detergent past the upper mark. Liquid detergent can only
be used for the main wash with programmes without a pre-wash. They are
only suitable for temperatures of up to 60 °C. With 95 °C programmes, liquid
detergents are not as effective as they do not contain bleach.
Liquid detergents are best used with very gentle programmes (e.g.
«Woollens» and «Hand wash»), low-temperature programmes and
programmes with .

Liquid detergent and a delayed start
If a delayed start has been selected, after loading the washing the liquid deter-
gent should be added to a dosing aid (e.g. ball). It is important that the liquid
detergent does not spill onto the washing during the delayed start period,
otherwise the washing could be damaged through a possible chemical reac-
tion.
Detergent dosage
Adding too much washing detergent can cause excess foaming,
giving a poor wash result and, in the worst case, causing damage
to the appliance.
The amount of detergent required depends on the degree of soiling as well as
the wash load, the hardness of the water and the product being used. Follow
the detergent manufacturer’s dosing instructions.
The hardness of the water is measured using the French degree of water hard-
ness (° fH) and is subdivided into three categories:
• Soft
0 °fH to 15 °fH
• Medium
15 °fH to 25 °fH
• Hard
over 25 °fH
(NB Use water softener to reduce amount of washing detergent required.)
The local water authorities can provide information on the level of water hard-
ness in your area.

Since soap binds with lime, soap detergent should only be used when the
water is soft or moderately hard (up to 25 °fH) and limescale protection is
added. Soap scum can otherwise form and build up in the laundry and the
appliance. Further, limescale build-up on the tub heating element can result in
damage to the appliance.

10 Washing tips
10.1 Fabric care symbols
To wash items correctly, please follow the fabric care symbols on the labels of
the wash items.
10.2 Washing detergent
The wash temperature selected should agree with the recommended tempera-
ture range of the washing detergent to ensure the washing detergent is at its
most effective.
10.3 General tips
• 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 duvet covers and pillow cases; close zips and hook and eye
fasteners; fasten cloth belts and apron ties.
• 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 deter-
gent or paste.
• For medium or heavily soiled washing, select the additional pre-wash
programme or select a heavier degree of soiling.
• Wash woollens and other textiles with the fabric care label using the
main hand wash programme only. Use detergent suitable for woollens
and delicates.
• Textiles, such as dog or horse blankets, that are covered in animal hair
should be brushed out before washing
77
10.4 Net curtains
If washing curtains made from mixed or man-made fibres:
• Ask the retailer whether the curtains are machine washable and, if so, at
what water temperature.
• Fill the washing drum only a quarter full.
• Tie up metal rollers and plastic sliders using an open weave fabric.
• Use a mild detergent (use sparingly due to foaming).
• With older, faded curtains, the material is weaker and may be easily
damaged if machine washed.
• A special programme is available for gently washing net curtains.
Select main programme
20
,
30
or
40
.
Press the button repeatedly until «Net curtains» appears in the plain
text display.
10 Washing tips
78
10.5 Saving energy and water
• Use the maximum wash load capacity of the particular programme.

stained.
• For lightly soiled washing without staining select the main
20
programme
or the additional «Sprint» function.
• Select the additional Eco function if programme duration plays no 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 level of residual
moisture in the washing at the end of the programme.

12.7 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.
12 Technical data
87
12.8 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.
12.9 Automatic energy-saving stand-by
The appliance is equipped with automatic energy-saving stand-by to avoid
consuming energy unnecessarily.
All displays go out within minutes of a programme finishing. Energy consump-
tion is reduced to an absolute minimum. The safety functions, however, remain
activated.
Power consumption in accordance with AS/NZS 2040.2:2005
