energy, water, detergent and time. Pre-wash
without detergent is recommended for lace
and curtains.

times for lightly soiled laundries and also the
number of rinsing steps. Shortens the program
time approximately 45 minutes.

number of current rinsing steps. Thus,
sensitive skins’ risk of being affected by the
remainder detergent on the clothes will be
decreased.
