Options
You can supplement the wash programs
with options.
SingleWash
For efficiently washing a very small load
(<2.2lb/1kg) in a normal wash program.
The wash duration is reduced. Please
note the following advice:
Important
When adding detergent manually, only
use liquid detergent and use the proper
amount.Use a maximum of 50% of the
specified amount of detergent for ½ load.
The use of bleach is not possible.
Eco
The Economy option helps to save en-
ergy. The wash temperature is reduced
and the wash duration is increased in re-
turn. The wash program continues to pro-
vide a deep clean.
SoftSteam
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry
undergoes a smoothing process at the
end of the program. Reducing the maxi-
mum load by 50% will give a better result.
Please note the load information in the
display. Small loads achieve a better re-
sult.

The garments must be suitable for drying

Gentle
Drum rotation and wash duration is re-
duced. Lightly soiled items are washed
more gently.
Pre-wash
For laundry with large amounts of dirt,
e.g., dust and sand.
Pre-wash and the use of bleach are not
possible.
The chlorine bleach is added too early.
Only liquid detergent may be added to
the  chamber of the detergent
drawer.
Powder detergent clogs up the 
chamber and water can escape from the
detergent drawer.
Soak
For heavily soiled and stained items with
protein stains. A duration of between
30minutes and 6hours can be selected
for the soak process. See “Settings” for
more information.
The factory default setting is 30minutes.
ExtraRinse
An extra rinse can be activated to achieve
a more thorough wash result.
AllergyWash
This option should be used where high
standards of hygiene are required. Energy
consumption is increased to lengthen
temperature holding times and water con-
sumption is increased to improve rinsing
efficiency. The items must be suitable for
drying in a tumble dryer  and suitable
for ironing .
Rinse Hold
The laundry is not spun after the final rinse
and remains in the rinse water. This helps
prevent creasing if the laundry is not going
to be removed from the drum immediately
after the end of the program.
