Stain selection
The correct treatment for every stain
Do not let stains dry. Remove any solid residue beforehand. Sort items of laundry as usual
and load the washing machine. Select a type of stain (cannot be combined).
ʑ
A total of 16 different stains can be selected. The washing machine adjusts the washing
temperature, drum movement and soaking time to suit the type of stain. Hot or cold water,
gentle or intensive washing control (thanks to the new drum structure) and a long or short
soaking time ensure that the wash programme has a special sequence for each type of
stain.
ʑ
A stain type can be added to each programme via the menu buttons/change buttons.
ʑ
The result: optimum stain treatment without the use of additional special detergents.

Environmental protection/Conservation tips
– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of
laundry for the relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
– Instead of the
LF
Cottons 90 °C
programme, select the
LF
Cottons 60 °C
and the
j
EcoPerfect
option. Comparable
cleaning result with significantly lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select the
appropriate spin speed according to the instructions of the dryer
manufacturer
.
Automatic stain removal
Automatic treatment of 16 different types of stain possible. No
pretreatment of stains required - the washing machine automatically
adapts the washing process
