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.

Environmental protection/ conservation tips
– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of laundry for the relevant
programme.
– Wash laundry with normal soiling without a pre-wash.
–
Instead of

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.
–
Energy saving mode
