soil. (This is the standard programme for test institutes).
2) The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets . It automatically adjusts the temperature and
the quantity of water, the energy consumption and the programme duration.
3) This programme has a high temperature rinsing phase for better hygiene results. During the rinsing phase, the temperature
stays at 70 °C for at least 10 minutes.
4) With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.
5) This is the most silent programme. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease the level of noise. Because of the low
speed, the programme duration is long.

and user mode
When the appliance is in programme selection
mode it is possible to set a programme and to
enter the user mode.
In user mode, the following settings can

The water softener
The water softener removes minerals from the
water supply, which would have a detrimental
effect on the washing results and on the

The higher the content of these minerals, the
harder your water is. Water hardness is
measured in equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted
according to the hardness of the water in your
area. Your local water authority can advise you
on the hardness of the water in your area. It is
important to set the right level of the water
softener to assure good washing results.
