• Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash when

activating the Prewash option.

“Rapid” button

• Enables quicker washing by shortening the

programme duration.

• Recommendable for small loads or only lightly soiled

laundry.

“Colours 15° ” button

• Saves energy used for water heating while

maintaining a good wash result.

• Supports colour maintenance when washing coloured

laundry.

• Recommendable for lightly soiled laundry without

stains.

• Make sure that your detergent is suitable for cold

wash temperatures.

• Not selectable for Cotton 70 - 95°C.

“Intensive rinse” button

• More water is added and rinse cycle is prolonged.

• This option is particularly suitable for areas with very

soft water, washing baby linen and helping people

with allergies.

“Tumble fresh” button

• Select this option if you cannot unload the laundry

soon after programme end, or if you tend to forget

the laundry in your washing machine. It will help to

keep your laundry fresh.

• The washing machine will start to tumble the laundry

periodically after programme end.

• The light of the “Tumble fresh” button will blink while

this function is active, and the display will show an

animation.

SELECT ANY DESIRED OPTION

Push the button(s) of any option(s) desired - the

respective indication lights up. When the combination

of programme and additional option(s) is not possible,

the indication lights switch off automatically. Unsuitable

combinations of options are deselected automatically.

“Prewash” button

• Only for heavily soiled loads (for example

sand, granular dirt). Increases the cycle time by

approximately 15 min.

• The periodic tumbling will last up to approximately

12 hours after the end of your wash programme, and

you can stop it at any time by pressing the “Tumble

fresh” button. It will last a while until you can open

the door.

• After the “Tumble fresh” period has run out, the

display indicates “End”.

“Spin” button

• Every programme has a predefined spin speed.

• Press the button to set another spin speed.

• If spin speed “0” is selected, the final spinning

is cancelled, and the water is drained out only.

However, intermediate spin peaks remain during the

rinse phase.

ADD DETERGENTS, CLOSE THE LID AND

SELECT THE PROGRAMME

Before starting and after end of a programme, the lamp

lights to show the the lid can be opened. As long as a

wash programme is running, the lid remains locked and

must on no account be forced open. In case you have

an urgent need to open it during a running programme,

refer to “Cancel a running programme before the end”.

PROGRAMME START

FINISH ON TIME

With this function you can postpone your programme

to complete at a later time: press the button to select in

how many hours the programme shall be finished. Thus,

it allows you to have your laundry ready at a particular

time and to profit from more favorable energy rates

during the night, for example.

• The time until the “Cycle end” can be selected in full

hour time segments (1 to 24 h). When you press the

button, the shortest possible time will be displayed;

keep on pressing the button to loop through all the

available times. To remove it again, keep on pressing

the button until you see the value “0:00”.

• When you have selected the desired time until the

“Cycle end”, press “Start(Pause)” - the countdown

will begin.

• During the countdown, you can still modify the

programme setting (select or deselect options,

change spin speed etc.). If the modifications prolong

the programme duration so that it overruns the

originally set time until the “Cycle end”, the

programme will start immediately.

• Sometimes the programme may finish before the

selected time until the “Cycle end” has expired (e.g.

for small loads). In this case, the washing machine will

tumble the laundry regularly to keep it fresh, until

the selected “Cycle end” time has expired. During

tumbling, the display will show an animation. The

tumbling phase can be stopped at any time either by

pressing any button or by rotating the programme

selector; the animation will stop and the door will

unlock in about 1 minute as indicated on the display.

CONSUMPTION DATA

Power consumption in off-mode 0.11 W / in left-on mode 0.11 W

Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with standard IEC/EN 60 456. Consumption data in the home may vary with

respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash.Water and energy consumption refer

to the default setting of the programmes; selecting special options or modifying spin speed or temperature will change the consumption data.

The programme duration may differ from the values indicated above as it depends on the operation conditions applicable at that time (see also

“Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use).

* To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pump drains the water out.

** Standard Cotton programme and basis for Energy Label. For reasons of energy saving, the real water temperature may deviate from the declared cycle temperature.
