Application/Features Energy-saving programme which washes at 60 °C for lightly to normally soiled whites or coloureds made of cotton/linen. Programme for normally to heavily soiled whites/coloureds made of cotton/linen. Programme for cottons/linen, which is indicated for various wash temperatures.

Before the first wash 1. Open the detergent dispenser drawer. 2. Pour about 1 litre of water through the detergent dispenser drawer into the washing machine. This closes the water container when the next programme is started and the economy valve can function properly. 3.

STAIN For heavily soiled or stained washing. In-wash stain treatment products are washed in at the optimum time as the programme progresses. Can only be set with wash temperatures of 40°C and above, as stain treatment products are only effective at higher temperatures.
Programme progress 3 • The programme progress display shows the programme step that is currently being performed. • The multi-display indicates the estimated time remaining (in minutes) until the end of the programme. During the washing cycle the remaining time may be increased or stay the same for a while as the programme adjusts itself to different conditions (e. g. type and quantity of laundry, out of balance spin detection, special rinses, etc.).
– or turn the programme knob to OFF and then to SPIN. Change the spin speed if necessary and press the START/PAUSE button (the water is drained and the washing spun). Overdosing 3 If the OVERDOSING indicator is lit, too much detergent was used in the previous programme. The next time you wash, observe the dosing recommendations of the detergent manufacturer and the load sizes. Child safety device When the child safety device is set, the door can no longer be closed.
