Environmentally friendly use of your

water, energy and detergent in a highly efficient way to 

help reduce operating costs, conserve resources and 

protect the environment.

Utilize the maximum amount of laundry for the 

appropriate program.

Avoid using too much detergent.

Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.

Save energy and detergent when washing lightly and 

normally soiled laundry.

out after a few minutes and 

Start/Pause

 flashes. To 

activate the display, touch any button.
Energy-saving mode is not activated if a program is 

running.

instruction.
