Wash cycles and functions

Wash functions

Super Wash

Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial 
phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle 
duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.

!

 It cannot be used with the

  , 

,  , 

 and “Partial wash 

cycles”.

Steam Hygiene

This option enhances washing performance by generating 
steam during the wash cycle that eliminates any bacteria 
from fibres while treating them at the same time. Place the 
laundry in the drum, choose a compatible programme and 
select the function “Steam Hygiene”. 

!

 The steam generated during washing machine operation 

may cause the porthole door to become hazy.

!

 It cannot be used in conjunction with 

 (90°C), 

,

and “Partial wash cycles”.

Extra rinse

By selecting this function, the efficiency of the rinse is 
increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It 
is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

!

Fastwash 30’,  , Spin and Pump out rogrammes.

cycles”.

Eco Wash

The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the 
water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to 
the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified 
wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash 
results in the same average time of a standard cycle. 
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of 
a liquid detergent.
