• 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.
