Add detergent as indicated on the front page and as 
described in the chapter “Detergent and Additives” 
in your Instructions for Use.
1. Turn the 
programme selector to the desired 
programme. The display shows the programme 
duration in hours and minutes as well as the 
predefined temperature. The 
“Start/Pause” 
button flashes.
2. The 
temperature can be altered by pressing 
the “Temperature” button.
3. The indication lamp of the predefined 
spin speed 
lights up; in case you want to set another spin 
speed, press the “Variable spin” button.
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.
“Eco” button
 With a modified temperature profile and a slightly 
prolonged washing duration, the optimum 
combination of excellent washing result and even 
lower energy consumption is achieved.
“Easy ironing” button
 Can be used together with “Cotton”, 
“Synthetics” and “Daily load” programmes to 
make ironing easier. Increases the water quantity and the clothes are 
spun very gently.
“Prewash” button
 Only for heavily soiled loads (for example sand, 
granular dirt) sensible. Increases the cycle time 
by approximately 15 min.
 Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash 
when activating the Prewash option.
“Intensive rinse” button
 More water is added and rinse cycle is prolonged.
 This option is particularly suitable for areas with 
very soft water, for washing baby linen and 
helping people with allergies.
“Rinse hold” button
 The laundry remains in the last rinse water 
without progressing to the final spin cycle to avoid 
creasing and prevent colours from changing.
 This option is particularly recommended for the 
programmes “Synthetics”, “Daily load” and 
“Delicates”.
 It is particularly useful if you want to postpone 
spinning to a later time, or if you want to drain only.
 If you select “Rinse hold”, do not leave the laundry 
to soak for too long.
Note: The programme stops to “Rinse hold” at 
the time the “Rinse hold” light in the programme 
sequence indicator is on. The indication lamp 
next to the 
“Start/Pause” button flashes.
Terminate the “Rinse hold” option:
 Press the 
“Start/Pause” button; the 
programme will terminate automatically with the 
final spin cycle for the present wash programme.CONSUMPTION DATA

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  wa s h .
*
The time indicated on the display can deviate from the values in the table, because it takes into account the household 
conditions applicable at that time.
**
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.
