Overview of programmes
~Page 14
■Wash normally soiled laundry
without a prewash.
■Save energy and detergent when
washing lightly and normally soiled
laundry. ~Page 13
■The selectable temperatures apply
to the care labels on the textiles. The
temperatures in the machine may
deviate from this so that you get the
optimum mix of energy-saving and
washing results.
■Information on energy and water
consumption: ~Page 11
The displays provide information
about the relative level of energy and
water consumption in the selected
programmes.
The more indicator lights light up,
the higher the programme's
consumption.
This enables you to compare the

an energy- and water-saving
programme setting.
■Energy-saving mode: The display
panel lighting goes out after a few
minutes and the Abutton flashes.
Press any button to activate the
lighting.
Energy-saving mode is not activated
