Protection of the environment / hints and 
tips
Your washer-dryer uses water, energy and detergent 
efficiently, thereby protecting the environment and 
reducing your household costs. For consumption 
values of your appliance see page 51. 
Hints and tipsUsing your washer-dryer in an efficient and 
environmentally friendly manner: 
■With smaller amounts of laundry, the load adjust 
reduces the water and energy consumption. 
■Select the Cottons Eco 0 60°C with Wash Plus È 
programme instead of Cottons ic  90°C. The
longer washing time in this 60°C programme 
means that the cleaning effects are comparable 
with those of a 90°C programme, although the 
power consumption is considerably lower. 
■Do not use prewash for lightly to normally soiled 
washing. 
■Add detergent according to the degree of soiling, 
amount of laundry and water hardness, and 
observe the detergent manufacturers instructions. 
■If washing is then to be dried in the appliance, 
select the higher spin speed - because the more 
water that is spun out of the appliance, the less 
time and energy is required to dry it, and get a 
good drying performance. In case of cotton, 
≥1000rpm spin speed is recommended; in case of 
easycare, 800rpm spin speed is recommended.

* Overdosage The automatic safety system detects excessive froth in 
the appliance due to a highly frothing detergent or an 
overdosage. This is indicated in the display field by the 
*
 symbol. Dispense less detergent for the next wash 
with similar items of washing (same degree of soiling 
and wash load). 
Overdosage of detergent may cause excessive froth 
formation and impair the washing and rinsing results. 
A rinse cycle is automatically run.

 symbol goes out when the appliance 
switches off at the end of the programme or if 
the programme is changed.
