Additional functions
The buttons
3
Depending on the selected pro-
gramme (see "Programme Table"),
specific additional functions can be ac-
tivated by pressing a button.
Intensive
Bio
• Press the required buttons before
starting the programme.
• Any not meaningful combination of
buttons is blocked; attempting to se-
lect such combination will cause a
buzzer to sound.
Prewash
This button activates a pre-wash, which is
carried out at a temperature of 40 °C.
• A pre-wash is only worth while with
heavily soiled laundry.
Without pre-wash you save energy,
water, washing detergent – and time.
Intensive
This function extents the wash time of the
main-wash cycle. The washing detergent
can work more effective, you can wash at
lower temperatures – and thus save up to
35% on energy.
• Normal soiled laundry that can be
boiled you can now wash at 60 °C in-
stead of 95 °C, plus this button.
• Normal soiled synthetics you can wash
at 40 °C instead of 60 °C, plus this
button.
Extra rinse
This function includes an extra rinse cycle.
• Use this function only if you are sensi-
tive to washing detergent residue.
The increased water consumption is a
burden on the environment – and
your purse.
• If the foam detection system detects
an overdose of washing detergent, an
extra rinse cycle is included automati-
cally.
Short wash
With this button the wash time can be re-
duced.
• Use this function for small loads or less
soiled laundry.
surfliss (Anti-crease)
If you press this button, the drum move-
ment is reduced and the spin cycle limited,
to reduce creasing. In addition washing is
done at a higher water level.
• Therefore, use this function only for
delicate fabrics that crease easily.
A
The maximum load with this function is
– for Cottons: ......................... 3.0 kg
– for Synthetics: ...................... 1.5 kg
– for Delicates: ........................ 1.0 kg
Bio
If you activate this function, the laundry is
soaked for about an hour before the wash
cycle starts.
• Use this function if heavily soiled and
for stains such as protein, blood or co-
coa.
Rinse & hold
If you press this button the programme
stops after the last rinse cycle. The laundry
remains in the water (to protect against
creasing).
• Once the rinsehold is reached, the in-
dicator lamp begins to flash.
• Refer to "At a Glance" to find out what
to do at this point.
