of in an environmentally friendly way.
Disconnection
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains. With a fixed appliance, this is to
be carried out by a qualified electrician!
Safety
• Disable the appliance to prevent accidents caused by improper use, espe-
cially through children playing.
• Pull the plug out of the mains socket or have the appliance disconnected
from the mains by an electrician. Then cut the mains cable off flush with the
appliance.
• Remove or disable the lock on the appliance door.
Disposal
• The old appliance should not be discarded as worthless rubbish. If
disposed of correctly, the raw materials can be recovered for recycling.
• The symbol on the identification plate warns that the appliance may not
be disposed of in normal household waste.

Delayed start
The programme start can be delayed from one hour to a maximum of
24 hours. During shut-off periods, which are determined by the local
electricity supplier, the delayed start time is extended by the length of
time the electricity was shut off. This is not shown in the display.
Temperature setting
The washing temperature can be lowered in 10°C steps (or above
80°C in 15°C steps), allowing lightly soiled (not stained) textiles to be
washed with a saving in energy.
• The temperature of the programme can be increased to 40°C.
• The temperature of the programme can be increased to 30°C.

then Refresh programme 0h18 is shown. This is suitable e.g. for washing new
textiles for the first time.
Spin speed
The spin speed can be changed in steps of 200 rpm (1200, 1000, 800,
600, 400 rpm and stop after rinsing).
Delicates can thus be spun at a low spin speed. However, this
increases the drying time (greater energy consumption for tumble
drying).
With «Stop after rinsing», the washing remains lying in the water after
the final rinse. There is no spinning nor intermediate spinning.

ness in your area.

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 level of residual
moisture in the washing at the end of the programme.

With these programmes, the actual water temperature is lower than the
programme temperature shown in order to save energy. A longer
