The washer is equipped with an
electronic control which determines the
load size automatically. The washer
determines the required water
consumption for each load and water
absorbency of the laundry. Different
program sequences and wash times
will result.
The program sequence shown in the
chart represents the basic program with
a maximum load. Possible Options are
not considered.
The washer’s program sequence
display will indicate the current step of
the selected wash program.Special features in the program
sequence:
Anti-crease:
The drum continues to turn up to 30
minutes after the program has ended to
prevent wrinkling. The washer can be
opened at any time. Exception: The
program WOOLLENS has no
anti-crease feature.
1)Pre-rinse
To rinse excess soiling, a pre-rinse
withoutdetergent is automatically
added to the program.
2)High Spin
Before the wash program starts, a
high spin is carried out to remove the
air from the pillows. After the spin the
program starts with the water intake.
3)In the Outerwear program the items
will be spun only after the main
wash.
4)In the program Flour + a third rinse
is added.

							Only use laundry detergent formulated
for front loading washing machines.
For wool and wool blend fabrics use a
detergent formulated for wools.
Follow instructions on the detergent
packaging for the correct use and
amount of detergent.
The amount of detergent used
depends on the level of soiling:
Light soiling
No soiling or stains are visible.
Normal soiling
Some visible soiling or a few light
stains.
Heavy soiling
Very visible soiling or stains.
The size of the load and the water
hardness level in your area have an
impact on the amount of detergent
necessary to obtain optimum wash
results. If you do not know the water
hardness level in your area, contact
your local water authority.Water hardness

Water softener
If the water hardness level is between II
and III, you can soften the water to
reduce detergent consumption.
The detergent packaging should
indicate the correct amount to use in
your machine. Add the detergent, then
add the water softener. From then on
you can then use the recommended
amount of detergent for water hardness
level I.

program will make fabrics feel softer
and will reduce static cling in the dryer.
