14 Washing tips
14.1 Energy and water economy
▪ Where possible fill the drum to the maximum load capacity of the relevant pro-
gramme.
▪ Select «Pre-wash» or «Soaking» only for washing that is heavily soiled or stained.
▪ For lightly soiled washing without staining select the «20 °C» main wash programme
or the additional function «Sprint».
▪ Select EcoHybrid level «optimal»
killing effect of high temperatures do not play a role.
▪ Select additional function «OptiTime» if washing using a delayed start or the germ-
killing effect of high temperatures do not play a role.
Spin speed
How much energy is consumed by subsequent tumble drying depends on the spin
speed set. The higher the spin speed set, the lower the remaining moisture content of
the washing at the end of the programme.

Automatic door opener
Use the appliance with the automatic door opener switched on. When the appliance door
opens the appliance immediately enters the lowest possible stand-by power consump-
tion state.
14.2 Avoiding damage
▪ Follow the fabric care symbols on garment labels.
▪ The wash temperature selected should agree with the recommended temperature
range of the washing detergent to ensure the washing detergent is at its most effect-
ive.
▪ Wash white and coloured textiles separately.
▪ Empty pockets and turn inside out. Remove any foreign objects (coins, nails, paper
clips, etc.).
▪ Empty and brush out pockets of work overalls worn in the metal industry. Metal shav-
ings can damage the washing and cause rust stains.
▪ Fasten hook and eye fasteners and zips. These can damage the laundry and the
drum.
▪ Fasten cloth belts, apron ties and duvet and pillow cases to avoid them getting
tangled up.
▪ Wash smaller items (e.g. nylon tights, belts) and items with zips and hooks in a wash-
ing net or cushion cover.
▪ Remove stains before washing using a suitable stain remover.
▪ Pre-treat heavily soiled areas (collars, cuffs, etc.) with soap, special detergent or
paste.
▪ Textiles, such as dog or horse blankets, that are covered in animal hair should be
brushed out before washing.
