3.1 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions,
your appliance will use less power
and water.
Use the Normal program.

The Normal program is energy-
efficient and environmentally
friendly.
3.2 AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical
measuring device (light barrier)
which measures the turbidity of
the washing water. You can save
water with the AquaSensor.
The operation of the AquaSensor
depends on the selected cycle. If
the soiling level is high, the wash-
ing water is drained off and re-
placed with fresh water. If the soil-
ing level is lower, the washing wa-
ter is used in the next wash cycle,
so reducing water consumption by
3-6 liters. In the Auto cycles the
temperature and run time are ad-
ditionally adjusted to the level of
soiling.
