This appliance is labelled in
accordance with European
Directive 2012/19/EU
concerning used electrical and
electronic appliances (waste
electrical and electronic
equipment - WEEE).
The guideline determines the
framework for the return and
recycling of used appliances
as applicable throughout the
EU.
Save energy and conserve
resources
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less electricity and
less water.
Choose programmes with low
temperatures and longer wash times
and use maximum load capacity
~ Page 28.
Energy consumption and water
■
consumption is most efficient.
Use the economy programme settings.
If you adjust the programme settings
■
for a programme, the display shows
the expected consumption.
Add ~ Page 27 detergent based on
the laundry's degree of soiling.
For light to normal soiling, a smaller
■
amount of detergent is sufficient.
Observe the dosage
recommendation from the detergent
manufacturer.

Reduce the washing temperature for
lightly and normally soiled laundry.
At low temperatures, the appliance
■
consumes less energy. For light to
normal soiling, lower temperatures
than indicated on the care label are
also sufficient.
Set the maximum spin speed if you
want to dry the laundry in a tumble dryer
afterwards.
The drier the laundry, the shorter the
■
programme duration when drying
which, in turn, reduces energy
consumption. A higher spin speed
reduces the residual moisture in the
laundry and increases the volume of
the spin noise.
Wash the laundry without prewash.
Washing with prewash increases the
■
programme duration and increases
energy and water consumption.
The appliance has a continuous
automatic load adjustment function.
Depending on the type of fabric and
■
load capacity, the continuous
automatic load adjustment function
optimally adjusts the water
consumption and programme
duration.
Energy saving mode
If the appliance is not operated for a
prolonged period (approx. 5 minutes), it
automatically switches to energy-saving
mode, the display panel lighting goes
out before the programme starts and
after the programme has ended, À
flashes. Touch any area of display panel
to activate the display backlighting.
energy saving mode is not be activated
when the programme is running.
