Add detergent as indicated on the front page and as 
described in the chapter “Detergent and Additives” 
in the Instructions for Use.
1. Turn the 
programme selector to the desired 
programme.
2. The indicator of the predefined 
spin speed 
lights up; in case you want to set another spin 
speed, press the “Variable spin” button .
Press the button(s) of any required option(s) - the 
respective indicator lights up.
When the combination of programme and 
additional option(s) is not possible,
the indicators switch off automatically. Unsuitable 
combinations of options are deselected automatically.
“Prewash” button 
 Only for heavily soiled loads (e.g. sand, granular dirt). 
Increases the cycle time by approx. 15 minutes.
 Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash 
when activating the prewash option.
“Easy Ironing” button 
 Can be used together with “Cotton”, 
“Synthetic” and “Daily load” programmes to 
make ironing easier.
 Increases the water quantity and the clothes are 
spun very gently.“Intensive rinse” button
 More water is added and the rinse cycle is 
prolonged.
 This option is particularly suitable for areas with 
very soft water, washing baby linen, and helps 
people with allergies.
“Rinse hold” button
 The laundry remains in the last rinse water 
without the final spin cycle, to avoid creasing and 
prevent colours from changing.
 This option is particularly recommended for the 
“Synthetics”, “Daily load” or “Delicates” programmes.
 It is particularly useful if you want to postpone 
spinning to a later time, or if you want to drain only.
 If you select “Rinse hold”, do not leave the 
laundry to soak for too long.
Note: The programme stops to “Rinse hold” at 
the time the “Rinse Hold” light in the programme 
sequence indicator is on. The indicator next to 
the 
“Start”
  
button flashes.
To terminate the “Rinse hold” option  :
Press the 
“Start” button; the programme 
will terminate automatically with the final spin 
cycle for the preset wash programme.
“ Variable spin” button
 Every programme has a predefined maximum 
spin speed.
 Press the button to set another spin speed.
 If spin speed “0” is selected, the final spin is 
cancelled but intermediate spin peaks remain 
during rinse. The water is drained out only.

Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with standard IEC/EN 60 456. In domestic use, consumption data 
may vary with respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash.
*The time indicated on the display (if present) can deviate from the values in the table, because it takes into account the household 
conditions applicable at that time.
**To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pump drains the water out.
