℃
℃
℃
How to save energy:
For small amounts of laundry,the automatic cont-
rol system reduces the consumption of both water
and energy.
Where possible,use the 60 Cottons/coloureds
program with additional function Intensive Stains
instead of the 90 Cottons/coloureds program.
The extended washing duration means that a cle-
aning result comparable to that of the 90 pro-
gram is achieved using considerably less energy.
How to save water,energy and detergent:
Avoid using the Prewash function when washing
lightly normally soiled laundry.
How to save energy and time:
For lightly soiled laundry,select the short program
appropriate to the type of textile.
How to save detergent:
Add detergent according to the degree of soiling,
amount of laundry and water hardness, and obs-
erve the detergent manufacture s instructions.

form the program status display. The progress bar
consists of a frame and several segments.
When the program has been selected,the symbols
for the individual program sections are displayed.
The frame of the progress bar flashes and requests
the program to start.
When the program has started,the almost empty
bar is displayed which fills up with segments from
left to right while the program is running.The sym-
bols indicate the program sections which have not
yet run and go out when the particular program
section has run.
At the end of the program all symbols have gone
out and the progress bar is full.
Overdosage The automatic safety system detects excessive fr-
oth in the appliance due to a highly frothing dete-
rgent or an overdosage.At the end of the program
this is indicated in the display field by the
symbol.Dispense less detergent for the next wash
with similar items of washing(same degree of soi-
ling and wash load).
Overdosage of detergent may cause excessive fr-
oth formation and impair the washing and rinsing
results.A rinse cycle is automatically run.
The symbol goes out when the appliance
switches off at the end of the program or if the
program is changed.
The activated childproof lock prevents the selected
program from being changed while the program

program duration(time after which the program is
expected to end) is displayed.
The program duration is displayed in hours and
minutes,e.g.
01:17 1 hour and 17 minutes
00:35 35 minutes.
When the program has started,the colon : flashes
between hours and minutes and the program
duration counts down in minutes.
When the program ends,the displays shows
(if select no final spin function,see page27).
While the program is running,the program
duration may be extended or reduced for the
following reasons.
Reductions in time occur because of :
small loads,
reduced heating times,e.g. If the water is very hot.
Increases in time occur because of:
additional rinse cycle if excessive foam is in the
laundry,
multiple spinning if the laundry is distributed
poorly in the drum,
increased heating times,e.g. When the water
is too cold,
water pressure too low,
selection of an additional option,e.g. Intensive
Stains function after the program has started.
Very absorbent washing extends the heating
duration.

Close the loading door.
Take care not to trap any items of clothing
between the loading door and rubber seal.
When washing a small amount of laundry, the
washing machine automatically reduces the
amount of the water and energy used.
Do not exceed the maximum load: Overloading
will cause poor wash results and encourage
creasing.
Unfold the sorted items of clothing and place
them loosely into the drum. Mix up large and
small items. Items of varying size will distribute
better during the spin cycle.
Open the loading door.
