Save energy and conserve re-
sources
If you follow these instructions, your ap-
pliance will use less electricity and less
water.
Do not exceed the programme's max-
imum load capacity →
Page 24 .
A higher load capacity extends the
programme duration and increases
energy consumption.
Use the programme's maximum load
capacity →
Page 24 .
The energy and resource consump-
tion is the most efficient.
Use the economy programme settings.
If you adjust the programme settings
for a programme, the display shows
the expected consumption.
Add → Page 38 detergent based on
the laundry's degree of soiling.
For light to normal soiling, a smaller
amount of detergent is sufficient.
Observe the dosage recommenda-
tion from the detergent manufac-
turer.
Reduce the washing temperature for
lightly and normally soiled laundry.
At low temperatures, the appliance
consumes less energy. For light to
normal soiling, lower temperatures
than indicated on the care label are
also sufficient.
Set the maximum spin speed if you
want to dry the laundry in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
The drier the laundry, the shorter the
programme duration when drying
which, in turn, reduces energy con-
sumption.
Wash the laundry without prewash.
Washing with prewash increases the
programme duration and increases
energy and water consumption.
The appliance has a continuous auto-
matic load adjustment function.
Depending on the type of fabric and
load capacity, the continuous auto-
matic load adjustment function op-
timally adjusts the water consump-
tion and programme duration.
The appliance comes with an Aqua-
Sensor.
During the rinse cycle, the Aqua-
Sensor checks the degree of turbid-
ity of the rinsing water, and adjusts
the duration and number of rinse
cycles accordingly.
Energy saving mode
If you do not use the appliance for an
extended period, it automatically
switches to energy-saving mode. All
displays go out and
⁠ flashes.
Energy-saving mode ends when you
use the appliance again, e.g. if you
open or close the door.
If you do not use the appliance for an
extended period, the appliance
switches off automatically.
