EcoHybrid: The appliance is equipped with two heating systems:
▪ Heat pump heater (approximately 1kW heat output) with very
low energy consumption. Suitable for heating up to 50°C.
▪ Conventional auxiliary heater (approximately 2.8kW heat output)
with normal energy consumption.
Optimal energy efficiency: Initially heated only using the
heat pump heater. The conventional heater comes on at
around 40–50°C. The set temperature is also reduced.
The extended washing time, however, ensures the wash-
ing performance is maintained. The energy consumed to
heat the water is around 50–70% lower than with conven-
tional washing machines without a heat pump.
Very good energy efficiency: Initially heated only using
the heat pump heater. The conventional heater comes on
at around 40–50°C. It takes longer to reach the desired
wash temperature. The energy consumed to heat the wa-
ter is around 40-50% lower than with conventional wash-
ing machines without a heat pump.
Good energy efficiency: Heating using both heating sys-
tems simultaneously. This provides a high heat energy
output. The energy consumed to heat the water is around
10-20% lower than with conventional washing machines
without a heat pump.
Easy care: For washing requiring very gentle treatment. Increased
water level, reduced washing action and lower spin speed.

Pre-wash: Suitable for heavily soiled washing. Programme duration
extended about 15minutes.
Delayed start: For using cheap-rate electricity (setting range of up
to 24hours). The programme starts automatically when the set
time is reached.
OptiTime: If a programme end time has been selected, OptiTime
calculates the most energy-efficient programme that can be carried
out in the time remaining to programme end.
OptiTime reduces the washing temperature, while the washing per-
formance is maintained. The more time is available for washing, the
more the washing temperature can be reduced. If higher wash tem-
peratures with a germ-killing effect are needed, a corresponding
programme without the OptiTime function must be selected (see
page 30).
