5.8 Additional functions
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.
Cold wash
For the , , and programmes, if a temperature below 20°C is

40 20
selected, then Cold wash is shown.
25
Refresh programme
For the programme with , if a temperature below 20°C is selected,

40 SPORT
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.
Fast forward / End of programme
Press the button to deselect parts of a programme at any time.

7.3 Adding washing detergent
Detergent dosage
Adding too much washing detergent can cause excess foaming,
giving a poor wash result and, in the worst case, causing damage
to the appliance.
The amount of detergent required depends on the degree of soiling as well as

the wash load, the hardness of the water and the product being used. Adjust
the dosage accordingly. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s dosing instruc-
tions.The hardness of the water is measured using the French degree of water
hardness (˚fH) and is subdivided into three categories:
• soft 0 °fH to 15 °fH
• medium 15 °fH to 25 °fH
• hard over 25 °fH*
* Use water softener and reduce washing detergent dosage
The local water authorities can provide information on the level of water hard-
ness in your area.
Adding powder detergent / fabric conditioner

Add powder detergent and fabric conditioner (softener), if required, as follows:
Compartment
Pre-wash detergent Place on washing drum
Main wash detergent Add to compartment I
II
Fabric conditioner (softener) Add to compartment II
I
31
7 Washing
Bio wash
Alkaline detergent Place on washing drum
Bleach Add to compartment I
Soap wash
Water softener Place on washing drum
Soap detergent Add to compartment I
Do not fill with fabric conditioner past the «maximum» mark. Do not
use fabric conditioner if drying the washing in a tumble dryer. Tumble
drying automatically leaves fabrics soft and fluffy to the touch.
Adding liquid detergent

Liquid detergent can only be used for the main wash with programmes without
a pre-wash. They are only suitable for wash temperatures of between 20 °C
and 60 °C. Liquid detergents are not as effective with 95 °C programmes as
they do not contain bleach.
Liquid detergents are best used with the «Sport», «Woollens», «Hand
wash» and «Easy care» programmes.
Add liquid detergent as follows:

• With the drum door closed, place directly on the washing drum.
• If using the dosing ball that comes with the liquid detergent, when loading
the appliance place it directly on top of the washing.
Liquid detergent and a delayed start
If a «Delayed start» has been selected, when loading the appliance a dosing
aid (e.g. ball) should be placed directly on top of the washing. It is important
that the liquid detergent does not spill onto the washing during the delayed
start period.

If no programme selection is made within 20 seconds, the displays go out.

However, it is still possible to make a programme selection.
7.4 Soap detergent

Select the additional «Soap wash» programme to wash with soap detergent.
Since soap binds with lime, soap detergent should only be used when the
water is soft or moderately hard (up to 25 °fH) and limescale protection is
added. Soap scum can otherwise form and build up in the laundry and the
appliance.
Further, limescale build-up on the tub heating element can make repairs
necessary.

Textiles can be dyed in the appliance using suitable dyeing agents.
Please follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions and warnings carefully.

10 Washing tips
10.1 Fabric care symbols

To wash items correctly, please follow the fabric care symbols on the labels of
the wash items.
10.2 Washing detergent

The wash temperature selected should agree with the recommended tempera-
ture range of the washing detergent to ensure the washing detergent is at its
most effective.
10.3 General tips

• 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 shavings can damage the washing and cause rust stains).
• Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases; close zips and hook and eye
fasteners; fasten cloth belts and apron ties.
• Wash smaller items (e.g. nylon tights, belts) and items with zips and hooks
in a washing net or cushion cover.
• Remove stains before washing using a suitable stain remover.
• Pre-treat heavily soiled areas (collars, cuffs, etc.) with soap, special deter-
gent or paste.
• For normally or heavily soiled washing, select the additional pre-wash
programme or select a heavier degree of soiling.
• Wash woollens and other textiles with the fabric care label using the
main hand wash programme only. Use detergent suitable for woollens
and delicates.
• Textiles, such as dog or horse blankets, that are covered in animal hair
should be brushed out before washing.
55
10 Washing tips
10.4 Net curtains

If washing curtains made from mixed or man-made fibres:
• Ask the retailer whether the curtains are machine washable and, if so, at
what water temperature.
• Fill the washing drum only a quarter full.
• Tie up metal rollers and plastic sliders using an open weave fabric.
• Use a mild detergent (use sparingly due to foaming).
• With older, faded curtains, the material is weaker and may be easily
damaged if machine washed.
56
10 Washing tips
10.5 Energy and water economy

• Use the maximum wash load capacity of the particular programme.
• Select «Pre-wash» or «Soaking» only for washing that is heavily soiled or
stained.
For lightly soiled washing without stains select the main 20
programme.
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.
rpm Residual moisture in cotton fabrics in %

12.6 Unbalanced load detection system

When spinning, if the control unit recognizes that the load is out of balance, it
will interrupt the spinning action once or more. This helps distribute the load
more evenly inside the washing drum. If this is not successful, the spin speed
is reduced. The washing is spun less intensively and is therefore wetter to the
touch.
12.7 Water and energy economy

During the first few minutes of a programme running, sensors automatically
determine the type and the size of the load being washed.
Water levels are then optimally adjusted to the wash load so that only the strict
amount of water needed is used.
65
12 Technical data
12.8 Turbidity sensor

In addition to the water and energy economy feature, the amount of water
needed is optimized by a turbidity sensor.
With the help of the turbidity sensor, the control unit detects the degree of dirti-
ness of the soapy water at any time in the cycle and from this determines the
amount of water needed for the rest of the cycle.
For example, if only a low degree of dirtiness is detected during the first
rinsing cycle, then the amount of water used for rinsing during the second
rinsing cycle is reduced.
12.9 Consumption data

The consumption data and programme durations given serve only as a guide.
They refer to the maximum load capacity and can vary with, for instance,
towelling material, a very cold water feed, the degree of soiling selected or a
smaller wash load. The time remaining and the programme end time shown
are adjusted during the programme sequence accordingly.
