– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of
laundry for the relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled washing without a pre-wash.
– The selectable temperatures apply to the care labels on the
textiles. The temperatures in the machine may deviate from this so
that you get the optimum mix of energy-saving and washing
results

instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select the spin
speed according to the instructions of the dryer manufacturer.
